So in short - an overview dashboard allowing you to pick various 
attributes/metrics and group those. There are some approaches here but 
one cannot deny on the fact that those graphing tools are addons to a 
monitoring tool mainly designed for alerts and thresholds. Which in 
detail means, that one might miss the fancy graphing dashboards. For PNP 
you might have a look at the so-called "pages", or build your very own 
html templates generating the output for you (the url GET params of pnp 
are convenient to use for external applications). Another approach would 
be the inGraph View Architect as part of the Icinga Web cronk component, 
but that's not yet released but living in git 'next'. That one is 
considered building your very own view based on various attributes, 
integrated into Icinga Web. If using graphite, there are plenty of 
dashboards and guis around which may fullfil your needs even better - 
but I am not sure which one would be the right to pick here. If you're 
just interested in grabbing that from the backends - rrdtool, rdbms or 
whisper speak different languages but may be used for some custom 
layouts too, i guess. Colleague of mine recently built some reporting 
dashboard based on ingraph data plots :)

Basically there's a variety of options available - you might wanna start 
your test vm and try them out and choose yourself then :)
