Is there a testing or debugging mode for nagios?

Hello,

this morning I received the contempt of my fellow admins because
nagios swamped their mailboxes
over night.
Well, it wasn't of course nagios' fault but mine
because I defined a template service wherein I referenced a
conact_groups that comprised all of us.
When later adding new services I simply forgot to override this
attribute with a contact group that contained only my mail
account (until I've come to terms with configuring).

That's why I desperately miss a means to run a nagios daemon that
isn't scheduling the checks by itself
but rather by manual invocation.
I'd also wish to test out alerting and event handling myself by
raising events (e.g. to see where in the end the notification is
delivered to).

Does nagios provide special utilities, or switches to support
(high level) debugging that way?

Regards
