Hi, have a look at the business-process-addons and its representation as a cronk in icinga-web. You can use this to group certain hosts together with logical relationships, and you can use this groups itself to group them together again. You can monitor the status of the groups and you can have some kind of drill down view on it. For example, if you group hosts a,b and c together with an AND relationship to group X, group X will get the status "ERROR" if one of the hosts gets this status. (If you use OR as relationship, the group will stay "OK" as long as you have on host with status OK in it). Maybe you can use this to solve your problem. Normally you would use this tool to group all the components of a business process together, to look at the status of a whole process.
