Organisation of hostgroups & availability reports

[Jelle Smet]

Hi all, 

I'm looking for the most flexible way to create availability reports of
host or service groups.
Let's look at the availability of servers for example and take following
conditions into account: 

* Hosts can be of different types: 4 possibilities (Servers, Network
equipment, Storage, Peripherals)
* Hosts can be located in different countries: 15 possibilities.
* Servers can be located in different environments: 2 possibilities (Remote
offices, Datacenters)
* Servers can have different OS's: 5 possibilities (Windows, Linux,
Solaris, Aix, Novel)
* Servers can have a different state: 3 possibilities
(Production,Acceptance, Development) 

I want to have the ability to create reports with any kind of combination
of the abovementioned parameters.
For example: Give me a report of the Belgian Datacenter Windows Development
Servers

It would be great to have a functionality within Nagios saying: "only show
hosts that appear in each selected group." But that's not the case. 

So, ... Any idea how to organize hosts and how to get this kind of
information out of there? 

Cheers,
