Scheduled Export of Node Status Maps to JPEG

We have Solarwinds NPM running on a partially isolated network. Here we have an NPM map which displays the overview of the entire network with green/yellow/red (see attached)

We are looking for a way to display a STATIC image of only this one map on the intranet homepage for the business users to be able to see the status. The web server has no direct access to the solarwinds server.

Seeing as these networks run on different AD domains, it is not possible to directly reference the solarwinds web server from the homepage.

We are looking for a method to export this map to JPEG on the Solarwinds Server C: drive approximately every 5 minutes. We can then use scripts to transfer the file to the web-server and make the intranet homepage dynamically refresh the image every 5 minutes.

This will give management an overview of the status of the network, without having to grant them access to the solarwinds instance.

Alternatively, and XML export of node status would also be beneficial as this can again be interpreted by the intranet homepage (albeit more difficult to implement)

I was hoping that Solarwinds has a working directory where jpeg files are generated periodically, where I could leech the files from, but this does not exist either.
