When do you think this feature will be integrated in HM?
And how will it "look like"? I think it should be enough to just look for status. Changes can be made through the program itself.
It would be simpler to use a template structure, similiar to Servers Alive (www.woodstone.nu). This makes it quite flexible and allows the end user to customize as required. My preferred interface is Big Brother, http://bb4.com.
