I'd reuse the existing right, no need for extra one IMHO.

The question is if vendors would like to change "Custom Services" to a better 
name
(with real service name). With current implementation they need to change the 
name
directly in .yml config file. Is that OK?

Maybe one AJAX call for all services could be better (I'm not sure about the
overhead, running 30 requests in parallel instead of big one might be too slow.)

Any idea? I'm not an AJAX expert...

I'd keep the same functionality, this creates unnecessary complexity. More over
reading the current status might take long time so the complete page would be
displayed after a (possibly long) delay.
