Dashboard for health check of AMQ and Fuse

My customer would like to display on a large screen key information related to the overall health of the ActiveMQ and Fuse systems.
The AMQ/Fuse support team does not want to provide a view of JON and other consoles because that would mean providing an access to an administration console, whereas we simply want a dashboard (read only access).

1) Has anyone done such a piece of work?
2) I have seen there are tools mentioned here:
http://activemq.apache.org/how-can-i-monitor-activemq.html
Has anyone tried any?
3) Or should I start developing my own dashboard using JMX?

Thanks for any advice.
