[Nagiosplug-help] Get status from external application

[Olivier Raginel]

Hello,

I'm just wondering if there is any easy way to get the status of a host 
/ service from an external application. For example, if I want to create 
a webpage with just some green / orange / red lights with a specific 
status, or some pseudo-interfaces so have status on my desktop / warf?

I've seen some things such as NXE and GNG, but they seem really 
specific.
Something like a webservice interface for Nagios would make my day. Will 
I have to write it? :)

Thank you,
Kind regards,
