I think the easiest way of doing this would be a small script that
goes through the fping status-logs on your BBDISPLAY server, and
generates a combined status message based on these criteria. Then run
this script as a BB extension script.

Something like this (untested, but you get the idea).

#!/bin/sh

# Pick up the BB environment
BBHOME=/usr/local/bb
export BBHOME
. $BBHOME/etc/bbdef.sh

cd $BBLOGS
PINGCOUNT=`ls *.conn | wc -l`
REDPINGS=`grep -c "^red" *.conn`

LIMIT=`expr $PINGCOUNT / 20`

if [ $REDPINGS -eq 0 ]
then
    $BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.settops green All settop boxes respond"
elif [ $REDPINGS -lt $LIMIT ]
    $BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.settops yellow $REDPINGS boxes down"
else
    $BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.settops red $REDPINGS boxes down"
fi

exit 0
