Non-support/Interface question

[mark.potter at academy.com]

I have been tasked with creating an easy to view frontend for our 
helpdesk. I was using NagVis for their frontend but their latest request 
seems both a little basic and sort of complex for NagVis. I am hoping 
someone will be able to recommend a method of doing this that is easy to 
maintain. What they, essentially, want is a table with three columns. The 
first column will be the name of the hostgroup, the second would be the 
applications for the hostgroup (A single indicator for all apps that goes 
red if a single app fails), and the third would be the actual hosts. The 
second two columns are simply a red/yellow/green indicator with some 
fourth option for acknowledged problems while the first will be text large 
enough to read on their wall mount plasma screens. I could do this in 
NagVis with a background image for the columns/rows but it seems it would 
be much simpler and easier to maintain as php, html, perl etc. I could 
code such a page but do not have the in depth knowledge of Nagios to hook 
in and get the status information needed for the page. Does anyone know of 
a tool that will accomplish this without much trouble or an easy guide to 
developing such a thing? Thanks to all in advance for an replies.
