Would something like Ganglia work?

Nagios works, but you will need to customize it.
If you want something out of the box for a single server, Look at individual agents from places like: PacketTrap, Kaseya, Continuum.
They will provide you exactly what you are looking for on an hourly/daily/monthly basis - and even have a 24/7 NOC option where someone will call you and notify you if your server is unresponsive, latency to high, to much utilization, etc.
You can also generate serious reports from the data that is gathered.

I use Opsview for monitoring servers. This is a nagios based system. Actually it doesn't need advance customization to build the monitoring system.
Did not know about Nagios but looks like a pretty good system.
I use Cacti. I have a Linux box at home which monitors the page load time all day long and sends email to me if it reaches certain threshold.
Here is the guide I followed:

If you're looking to setup something yourself, the main open source options are Nagios, Zabbix and Zenoss. All support gathering and display basic stats on your server, but require time to get things installed and configured the way you like.
There are a number of monitoring services that provide similar capability in a hosted model, so you don't have to go through the installation and ongoing management of the monitoring. My company, Panopta, provides this, with the ability to monitor remote services and alert (email, SMS, voice, Twitter, HTTP POST, etc.) whenever a service is down or is responding too slowly. We can also monitor on-server resources such as CPU usage, bandwidth, etc. and send alerts whenever a metric exceeds the thresholds you set.

We use Monitis.com. They monitor everything from server health (CPU, RAM, processes) to applications and web services (I need REST, Forms, SOAP and DNS).
They provide both agents-based and agent-less Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris server monitoring.
