writing a Monitoring Dashboard with stoplights

Hi

I want to develop a webpage thats displaying monitors (stoplights, green, red, orange) which monitor availabilty. Whats the best technology for this to keep it simple but nice? Should I use JSPs which will be reloaded all 5-10 seconds and check the availabilty on every reload (and change color of course)? Or should I use AJAX? It should have a nice GUI as well.

regards,

Markus
