Single Nagios with two web interfaces

Hi guys,
I already have an installation of Nagios Core, with some monitored hosts and services (I reach the UI to the http://localhost/nagios3).
Now I would like to add other hosts in a different view of the web interface (for example: http//localhost/nagios_mod) in which I can see only these new hosts (as it was a second installation of Nagios).

In summary, I would like to have a single installation of Nagios and have two web interfaces (with different hosts between the two views).
Is it possibile?

Thank you in advance!

Not easily, that is for sure. Two, fully separate, concurrent core installs is possible, but will be a pain in the rear to set up and maintain. What is the use case here? I would usually suggest making users with limited views based on what objects they are a contact of.

Yes, you are right.
Now I try to create a new user and obtain in this way two different views.

Could you please explain the whole procedure to create new user and give him the the permissions only for some hosts and services?
I have already searched for this kind of guide but I haven't understood so much.

Sorry for these answers but I am new to Nagios.

Thank you again

I will start you out with the official documentation for core users/contacts and authentication. Read this link over and then lets dig into your questions.
