Hi,

In my opinion, Graylog is not the best tool for what you are looking for.
It´s great for retrieving Logs and do all sorts of things with them, but if you want to monitor CPU, HDD Utilisation etc., you might want to search for a Monitoring solution rather than Log Management tool.

I´m not sure if it´s ok to name these tools, as they might have some overlapping in functionality with graylog. Just google for Server Monitoring, you´ll quickly have some names.

Regards,
Matthias
