Yes, I'd only suggest looking at automating what you are wanting to do with a commercial (or freeware) package.
Whilst you could do it yourself, the number of resource hours initially required doesn't become cost effective after you've done a few servers. Another point is that you'd still need to maintain all of those scripts - that is unless each system was setup identically.
If that is the case, do your scripts on one system and when happy, distribute to the others, but it's still a handfull to maintain and to document (if you do document??).
I did some modest SYSLOG, CPU and Diskspace reporting on two SCO 5.0.5 server with my former employer. The SYSLOG reporting only occurred at 23:55 in the form of an email (from memory) - I didn't want emails every 5mins and CPU/Diskspace was progressively reported on daily and majorly reported on the first of each month for the pervious month.
If you still want to script it, then I'll post them - but remember, it's not the greatest script in the world - I'm always learning.

syslog
SYSLOG(8) System Logging SYSLOG(8)
NAME
syslog-ng, syslogd
DESCRIPTION
There are different syslog daemon implementations supported as the system's syslog service, currently syslogd, syslog-ng and rsyslogd
The first installed daemon activates itself for the syslog service. Starting with openSUSE-11.2, it is rsyslogd, before it was syslog-ng.
But this depends on the software selection during the installation.
The name of the daemon used as syslog service is specified in the
SYSLOG_DAEMON variable in /etc/sysconfig/syslog.
The yast2 sysconfig module provides a comfortable way to switch to another installed daemon and restart the service.
The /etc/init.d/syslog init script is able to handle all supported daemons.
