Simon,

I believe that I already have some programs that do some of what you ask.

It's been a very long time since RSTS for me.  Like 1978.  What?  42 years?

If you'd care to come up with some specs, what info should be 
selectable, how it should be displayed, I might find the energy to dust 
off some of my old stuff, come up with a utility you might like, donate 
it to VSI, or if they didn't want it, make it available similar to DECUS 
stuff.

VMS aleady has some things in the MONITOR utility.
