Multiple status map views

[Noah Leaman]

Thank your responses Garrick S. and Jason T.

I was able to successfully fork the hosts off each other using the 
parent settings... and I do see the green "cross-hairs" are on any of 
those hosts. Unfortunately though, the lighter green shaded area in the 
"Circular (Marked Up)" layout do not disappear after hiding any of the 
drawing layers which was really what I was hoping would happen.

Basically, I was hoping the hosts would rearrange themselves on the 
status map based on enabling/disabling of the drawing layers or on what 
user was logged in and what contacts were assigned to the host. But 
instead, there is still a "place holder" that keeps the maps arranged 
the same but just with holes of light green space (again, with the 
Circular (Marked Up) layout anyways. So I assume this is normal 
behavior for the status map :( A big problem since we plan on scaling 
to 1500-2000 hosts. I am able to log in as different contacts and see 
just their hosts which will help.

Any one have any info on mapping add-ons for nagios?
