small alternative frontend

[Andy Shellam (Mailing Lists)]

I've just come back from a refreshing shower (it's funny, I find most of 
my inspiration in the shower these days - strangeness :? )
Anyway, in fear of digressing, I've come to a conclusion that the major 
2 bottlenocks to NLG are:

- the network transfer overhead between the Nagios and the NLG server 
(if on different machines)
- the speed of the browser in rendering the returned output

To solve both of these, in v0.2.5, I'll build in a "pager" for the 
hosts, as follows:
When the poller gathers it's data from Nagios, it sorts it into 
alphabetical data according to the hostname, then only sends back the 
first X number of hosts (set in the config.)  Then at the bottom of the 
screen, you'll get a bar like the following:

"Showing hosts 1 - 20 of 300 [ page 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 ... 15 ]"

which you can use to flick through the rest.  I'll also add an overall 
server/metric status (like the 'Network Health' section in Nagios's 
Tactical Overview).
In the future I'm planning on adding support for showing planned 
downtimes, acknowledgements and comments.

Methinks this should work :)
