I would say that two nagios plugins would be useful, and also a status
tray program.

server plugin: runs on a computer that has an introducer, or a storage node,
and returns status of that node locally.

client plugin: runs on a computer that has a client node, and queries it
(first fix the bug about the CLI being less powerful than the WUI :-) to
find out if it is connected to introducer and to all servers.

status tray program: probably exactly the client plugin, but
representing an icon in the local GUI.  This could use a new interface
to get continuous updates from the local client, much like the BSD
routing socket, or IMAP with the IDLE extension.

I would suggest that firs the CLI be extended to print out what's
needed, and then the plugins become simple scripts.

Or, perhaps the WUI has a json representation of status.  This should be
relatively easy to do.
