The images are generated by the Nagios CGIs and have URLs that are
pretty easy to generate programatically :), so you actually could do a
custom web-dashboard that calls the nagios CGIs to create host and
service state trends, but they would be just state trends not
performance data trends.

For performance data trends across hosts or services you have to
integrate a graphing package and then use the data sources from that
package to do what you are after.

I think on and off about doing just this kind of a report builder GUI
for PNP, would not be too difficult, just need that ever rare
commodity 'free time' to do it :).
