I haven't tried NagiosGrapher.  I'd also recommend PNP for nice graphs.

http://www.ederdrom.de/doku.php/nagios/pnp  (in German)
http://www.ederdrom.de/doku.php/nagios/pnp_en  (in English)

If you have problems with Perl, you might need to resolve them to get
PNP working.  A common problem is that your nagios binary might have
been compiled with the embedded perl option enabled.

As for special scripts, it's quite easy to find some in (for example)
http//www.nagiosexchange.org or to write your own.

I hope this helps,

Cheers,

Jim
