Not certain I understand what you are trying to achieve.
All the graphic can display is information that you know. So the first question is: what do you know? I.e. how do you intend to determine that the devices are online?
You mention that you have to ping the devices now. That suggests that one approach would be to run an automated process to periodically ping the devices, gather that information, and present it to a web browser.
Bear in mind, however, that simply because the device is responding to a ping doesn't mean that its control program is actually functioning; it only means that the network stack is capable of responding to messages (i.e. the whole device isn't locked up). A better way, if possible, would be to have the devices generate some kind of periodic notification message to some central location, and then present THAT information in the browser.
Just a couple of thoughts.

At the moment the only way to check this is to ping each one individually.
Is this possible to do and could someone point me in the right direction or even have some script for me.
Thanks for taking the time to read this!
