Roughly speaking you could do something like this:

* grafana as the single web based front end
* the datastore of your choice (graphite, prometheus, influxdb, whatever)
* a mechanism to gather the data from each host, depends on your datastore

Now, I've just seen that you want to avoid the enterprise solutions. Maybe
Cacti is a good stepping stone. https://cacti.net/
