I would like to be able to see/use colors in the overview other than red/green. Like yellow for things that are going, but not gone, or blue for things that are down, but it doesn't really matter, but you still need to know. Maybe some kind of rainbow pattern based on severity, possibly with severities that that go the other direction, like acceptable, good, preferred, optimum, or some varation on the theme.
Edited to add:
I would like a class of colors that operations personell can ignore. The understand red/green as bad/good, but too many red items blind them. I would also like to have colors for services that are supposed to be down (like telnet/ftp) but come up. not red, cause I don't want to get a call at 3am over it, but I will want to notice in the morning.
