Issue tracking

So I inherited a project at work, its a "status" tracker. Essentially we have a server and it runs processes. When these processes have an issue we have a web GUI that is a table and any processes show up in that table as a row with 'child' rows showing the various events that triggered an error or warning. I have the SQL to make the connection and grab the data now I get to build (or rebuild) the application.

issues have a status of error, warn, info, and OK. I need to create this GUI so that it lays out so that parents show by default and toggling the table parent row will show or hide the child rows. Parents are entities and children are events.

The table should connect and build itself, and then every X seconds the data in the table should update any new items not previously existing would append to the end of the table. Currently it seems the previous dev has all of the information coming in via AJAX and is building the table and then X seconds later the page refreshes and its does it over again.

Users should able to click a mater toggle button to show or hide all children.

Users should have the ability to create a support ticket, and or add notes to the items. Also this table needs to track what user creates ticket/note/s or clears an issue.

This isn't really a question post as much as a rant/ any suggestions to build this.
