Hi Monica.

The only thing you should really need is to write a plugin that fetches
the information for you. The standard UI will display everything the
plugin emits to standard output.

Information on how to write plugins should be available at
nagiosplug.sourceforge.net, unless I'm much mistaken.

Good luck :)
