That's what I do, with Nagios and MRTG.

I would like to have a graceful tool to publish web information about 
the Xen guests in a non-root-owned GUI. In particular, GUI's like the 
"virt-manager" on RedHat and Fedora Core can't tell when a domain is 
*down* that should be up, nor can they activate it.
Does anyone have tools for that that actually work? I've seen quite a 
few badly written different little GUI's, and haven't yet found a good 
one. (Robust, uses the actual existing configuration files, does not 
require local user account, etc.)
