Want to run 2 nagios on 1 machine

[David Schlecht]

Hi All



I'm trying to run two instances of Nagios on the same machine using
 virtual hosts, but I'm having trouble. Has anyone succeeded at
 this? I've checked over some old posts with suggestions but the
 CGIs just don't seem to work with two instances.



The specifics --

We are monitoring a large network and have 24/7 operators watching
 the console and pager and e-mail. Nagios is great 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 from the production
 instance.



If two instances isn't the best way to solve this, are there any
 other suggestions?



Thanks,
