I can't answer your question directly but I know what you are trying to
achieve (with regards to the large public display).
Instead of showing the status map we developed an application that reads
the nagios status.dat file and builds a high level status view of the
monitored environment.
In doing this we get to display the status of business
processes/applications instead of just host status (we could show that
if we wanted to configure it like that), which is often much more
meaningful (and simple) for non-IT staff.
For example the email system might be made up of an external SMTP
server, an internal mail/database server, a SPAM filter server, an
anti-virus scanner etc. We might combine these hosts and all or some of
their services and then rollup the individual statuses to a single
overall status.
Take a look at the following documentation page:
http://www.smartmon.com.au/docs/tiki-index.php?page=High+Level+Status&highlight=high%20level%20status
Take a look at the nagios status.dat file and write your own application
to present the information you need.
Another alternative might be to take a look at Nagvis.

Hi,
I have been running Nagios for while now to monitor the ~150 servers I
look after. Senior management have finally noticed what I have done and
want to use Nagios to display the network status on a large display so
anyone walking past the IT area can see at a glance what is going on
with the network. The only issue with this is I can't get the network
map to fit on a 1080p display without going off the edges thus rendering
the display idea useless.
Is there any way to alter the statusmap cgi page so that the information
boxes at the top of the page are placed at the bottom of the page? Or
alternatively is there any way to alter the scaling factor permanently?
Thanks
Jon
