For the time being you can use the Perl/PHP clients that are part of the ntop distribution and that allow you to fetch data out of ntop. >3.

What you need is a custom report that contains on one page all that's described above. So it's a matter of coding. As stated above, you can do all this using the above clients. Otherwise we could do it for you.
