I recommend you take a look at the Nagios Extended Status Map
http://nexsm.gridshield.net/Overview.html and/or NagVis
http://www.nagvis.org/ .

NEXSM can be a bit of a pain to install, so check the forum for recent
posts on the subject before taking the plunge.

NagVis is arguably easier to install, but relies on NDOUtils so you'll
need to set up a MySQL database if you haven't done that already.  The
AutoMap feature I would guess might work very well for around 150
servers.

hth,

Jim
