NDOUtils will take the majority of the data associated with your Nagios
installation and send it to a database for you (currently only mysql is
supported). You can store information about your current setup,
notifications, current host/service status, the results of checks etc. With
this information in a database you are free to do what you want with it. I
believe the current plan is to leverage the data that is stored in the
database to faciliate a complete overhaul of the current Nagios frontend.

There is absolutely nothing stopping you from putting together your own
application that makes custom graphs, custom reports based around the data
available to you. You can use whatever language you like, through whatever
presentation medium you like. You are simply limited by the connection to
the database, and as I assume you will be managing the database, this
shouldn't be a problem.
