Apologies in advance for being OT.  It seems like the best channel for hands-on knowledge.

I'm looking for a network system monitoring package with the most flexible presentation layer.  Nagios and company all do fine at monitoring servers and links; cacti/mrtg/RRD and friends do a great job of compiling statistics and making endless graphs.

We're looking for something with a dynamic display that automatically displays the "interesting" stuff.  Imagine a display that shows things that are farthest from their norms - the overloaded server or network link, and has at most a click away the historical data that shows why something is wrong now.  Broken functionality, of course, comes at the top of the list of things to display.

Is this something I can configure NetXMS to do?  If not, does anyone know of any existing packages that do something like this?

TIA,
