My "traffic lights" are not webbased. We are talking real analog hardware here.
I know how to manipulate that part, I just cant figure out where to
get the information from nagios.

My current "best idea", (which sucks!), is to make a contact with a
notification which logs events to a file. Then a daemon listens to
this file and inserts changes to a database. "OK" states removes from
the database.
Then its a simple select to figure out the collective status for a contactgroup.

But I think I went to the moon and back again for allmost nothing!
