Separating host groups on status map

[HENSHAW Brad]

I'm in the process of evaluating Nagios' suitability for monitoring our
network with around 220 hosts and 450 services which require monitoring.
The current setup is comprised of MRTG, hacked perl and vbscript to
monitor services and the SNMPc application to monitor hosts.

The organisation is comprised of a large number of hosts at head office
and a smaller number of hosts spread across 22 regional offices located
around the state.

What we would like is something similar to SNMPc's view of the status
map where the main map shows each office as a single icon and its colour
changes based on the status of hosts within that office. Double-clicking
on an office displays all hosts in that office and their status. This
arrangement of hosts is analogous to our use of hostgroups in Nagios,
but is there any way to display the network map in a similar fashion
without excessive hacking of the statusmap CGI? Having all 200+ hosts on
the map at once is rather unsightly.

Regards,
Brad Henshaw
