Extended Service Information - A Really annoying issue

[Jeramy Eling]

Hi,

I have checked and that line does exist and still nothing. It is right below the extended host information directive and that is working great. This is starting to pose a problem, I want to start and use Nagios and replace my current monitoring solution and my boss likes it to. However I need this function working so we can add more details etc. to certain services.

Having spent most of this week trying to solve the problem I am all out of ideas, any more pointers would be greatly appreciate

Jez

Make sure there is an uncommented line saying (something like)
xedtemplateconfigfile=/usr/local/nagios/etc/serviceextinfo.cfg
