Changing the layout of the status map

[Matthew Jurgens]

I can't answer your question directly but I know what you are trying to 
achieve (with regards to the large public display).
Instead of showing the status map we developed an application that reads 
the nagios status.dat file and builds a high level status view of the 
monitored environment.
In doing this we get to display the status of business 
processes/applications instead of just host status (we could show that 
if we wanted to configure it like that), which is often much more 
meaningful (and simple) for non-IT staff.

For example the email system might be made up of an external SMTP 
server, an internal mail/database server, a SPAM filter server, an 
anti-virus scanner etc. We might combine these hosts and all or some of 
their services and then rollup the individual statuses to a single 
overall status.

Take a look at the following documentation page: 
http://www.smartmon.com.au/docs/tiki-index.php?page=High+Level+Status&highlight=high%20level%20status

Take a look at the nagios status.dat file and write your own application 
to present the information you need.
Another alternative might be to take a look at Nagvis.
