Simple Server Status Web Page

[ihaveaproblem]

Hi,

 

I would like to setup a simple web page that shows the status of a server e.g

 

Server 1 = Online

Server 2 = Online

Server 3 = Offline

 

All the web page needs to show is the server name and then the status next to it in the format or 'online', 'Offline' or even better yet a small image of a green or red circle, also it would be great if the page auto refreshed the status every XX minutes.

I thought this would be quite easy to do, but I am struggling, and even after trying to search for code online to achieve this I'm still really struggling.

If someone has some code they can share or help me create that would be much appreciated.

 

And in case I've explained badly what I'm trying to achieve, I mean something like this

Is this the sort of thing you're looking for?
