System information

view.pl
This allow NMIS to view and edit the CSV files used to control NMIS.
summary.pl
This produces a VERY basic summary of the NMIS for group and node status, alows drill around,
intended for WAP, PDA Web Browsers, dialup, etc.
event.pl
This allows integration for other systems to send events to NMIS over HTTP, by calling URL's with
required information. Quite handy to allow NMIS event and escalation subsystem to be used for this! Ie
monitoring something else, oh its down, I will tell NMIS to add it to its state table and check the policy
and send an alert if required.
query.pl
This can be used to allow NMIS to be used in a distributed manner, this CGI can be called from remote
machines to determine what this NMIS is monitoring and what the status and health of devices are.

Make health include metrics for interface utilisation, could be done by doing utilisation summarystats for each interface where each interface utilisation was
weighted out of 100 where 50 utilised would equal 50, etc, which then contributed to a total number divided by the number of interfaces and then weighted into
the total health metric.

Every 5 minutes calculate the health metric for each group & whole network and stick in an RRD allowing graph and drilling of overall health and then graph
