Nagios-1.2, images and frustration...

[Holger Wirtz]

Hi all,

first of all: Thanx for your help - now it works!

What I have done:
It seems so that I had used a very strange sourcecode... perhaps an older
CVS version. After getting and installing the version 1.2 and checking
all the configs again it worked!

For all who have the same problems as I had here are some hints:

- Configure your nagios with the option "--with-template-extinfo". I
  used:

	./configure --with-template-objects --with-template-extinfo

- Put into your cgi.cfg only ONE xedtemplate_config_file line. I had put
  it right after the line for main_config_file:

	#Only first file is parsed, so we put everything in one file!
	xedtemplate_config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/extinfo.cfg

In this file you have to put all your hostextinfo and serviceextinfo
configuration.

- Take a look at your directory for the logos (with the above
  ./configure your logos should be found in
  /usr/local/nagios/share/images/logos

  Take a look at the owners and permissions. For my installationall logos
  have the owner nagios.nagios and the permission 644.

  If you want more logos get them from
  http://www.nagios.org/download/extras.php

- And now an example for an entry in hostextinfo.cfg:

  define hostextinfo {
        host_name       foo,bar,bla,fasel
        notes_url       http://localhost/munin
        icon_image      debian.jpg
        statusmap_image       debian.gd2
        icon_image_alt  Linux-Workstation
        2d_coords       235,830
  }

  For the statusmap you need the *.gd2 icons!

I hope thats all and the next one who has problems can get this running
faster than I :-)
