We use bookmarks to the usual multi-host graphs (not the ones from the 
"Metrics Report"). In some cases, we combine these on one HTML page (just with 
IMG tags to a multi-host graph), such as one we had showing the mail queues 
(where each server has 3 MTA instances, each MTA instance has 3 queues), 
showing 9 graphs each with ~15 hosts.

Then, we also use the Devmon-focused weathermap script I have been working on 
(though the primary use is showing link utilisation on a diagram, it can now 
show test status for non-devmon tests and have popup graphs for non-devmon 
tests). I haven't quite finished everything I wanted to finish ... so this 
version isn't released yet, but this here is a static copy of what I have 
running on my workstation (production is displaying on a large video wall):

(the popup graphs on links and nodes won't work from the internet though)
