> We are monitoring a large network and have 24/7 operators

> for alerting  them so they can notify the right department/technician.
>

> 
> The operators are not allowed to change the status, such as 
> disabling  notifications, acknowledgements... This is 
> strictly a read-only  interface. Hence, their web login is 
> via a privledged account which  allows them to view all hosts 
> and services, but can't change anything.
>  Their e-mail comes from a different account.

> Now we have developers who want to monitor their 
> test/development  machines and I don't want these failures to 
> reach the operators'
>  web interface. Since the operators are viewing a privledged 
> screen,  there's no way to prevent them from seeing the test boxes.

> My current attempt uses a single Nagios install with separate 
> test  directories, many linked back to the installed ones. 
> Running the  CGI in the test directory shows all the hosts
