Nagios core performance data

Hi guys,
I'm using Nagios Core 4.3.2 to collect several performance data on several servers and I want to know what is the best way to present that data in some sort of table where you can drill down to details.
For example, let's say you have 3 servers collecting input/output packets for each Network interface. I would like to have a table to show a total input/output packets for each server and when I click the server I would get the details per interface.
Is this possible? If so please point me to the right direction.

Thanks.

If you're willing to throw money at the problem, Nagios XI has pretty seamless integrations for performance data. Migrating from Core to XI is relatively painless:

If you're looking for something free, I'd suggest Nagflux. Spin up an InfluxDB instance, strap Nagflux to it. Store your performance data there for querying+analysis on the TICK stack.

PNP4Nagios also exists, but is getting pretty long-in-the-tooth.
