Nagios Status Map - Center of the universe

[Jack Doyle]

I believe that any device without a parent specified is going to have
the nagios process as the parent.

How do I specify that the parent for a particular device is NAGIOS
(Nagios process?

I would also second that it would be helpful to be able to specify which
server owns the Nagios process as we will shortly be setting up a
redundant Nagios environment.
