It looks really old-fashioned. Many years ago, I saw supervision consoles in

telcos which were operated that way, with a human in front of the console 
24h/day, with nothing else to do than to watch.

Unless you have a lot of staff, why not use more automatic systems like mon

Sure, sometimes you can't fix things without logging in.  It should be a
trivial task to take your favorite window manager (fvwm2! :)) and add
buttons and/or menu items to log into a remote machine.  That and a web
browser should be all you need.  (And if you're bored, it's not hard to
convince monshow to provide rlogin: url's on the details for each
item... you should be able to convince Netscape to use ssh instead of
rlogin see the Navigator/Applications preferences menu.)

If you want real-time-pretty-graphs and such, look at scotty... not
nearly as useful as mon since I've never convinced it to page me, but
you can get real-time displays of all sorts of useless things and build
a mini diagnostic/display tool (where clicking on a computer could open
an ssh session).
