Well, the thing aobut the pi was really just some extra information as of how I want to do this. It's not really relevant to the question, which was how I can extract info about (host and its services) and see if it's a warning or not. The dashboard does this, but I don't know if the accumulation is within the dashboard or in the core. 

As for the graphical verification, I guess a 50" monitor beside the "DEFCON" scale will do the job rather wall. 

What do you think?
