Even though splunk is not open source I recommend you check it out, it can do pretty much everything you want and it can be extended. It's free up to a certain data throughput (it's quite costly if you want to get the shareware).

Check out this post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/183977/what-commercial-and-open-source-competitors-are-there-to-splunk for open source solutions.

Nagios (http://www.nagios.org) is an open-source monitoring solution which comes with a whole range of default plugins for monitoring things like host status, CPU usage, service states etc.

It's also fairly easy to write your own plugins to monitor your own business specific metrics (see http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html).

What is your target platform?

If you're looking for an open-source system in Java, take a look at OpenNMS. It's not as widely used as Nagios but has a pretty good reputation.

Try ProtoMon Lite it's free and has a lot of options. Unfortunately it's not open source.
