You can store arbitrary data in text fields, but you lose many of 
benefits (schema, searching, indexing, joins etc).  There are 
mysql plugins, I believe, to deal with json in the database.  
There are other serialization formats you could consider (say, 
protobuf).

Have you looked into any of the NoSQL databases yet?  Redis might 
be a better fit for key-value, or you could go the document 
database route with CouchDB or MongoDB.

Can you store the data in mysql, templates elsewhere and render 
the combination either on demand or periodically?

Any particular reason why you building this from scratch?  There 
are a ton of systems out there already (nagios, munin, cacti, 
etc).  Most of these make it fairly easy to write custom plugins.  
serverfault might be a good place to cruise for ideas.
