Graylog is specialised for log management. If your main requirement is storing and querying time-series metrics (such as CPU usage, request latency, or memory consumption), a time-series database like InfluxDB or Prometheus is more suitable. Graylog is designed for log events, not for high-frequency numerical measurements.
