Invalid object definition type hostextinfo

[James R. Marcus]

In order to get this to work I had to make two changes:
I had used xodtemplate_config_file, I needed to use xedtempate_config_file.  This configuration entry needed to be in cgi.cfg not in nagios.cfg.
Thanks Allan.
 
Hope this helps someone.
 
James

I have been reading the list trying to figure out how to get hostextinfo working.  I'm running 1.3 and I have read on the list that I need to load the file using:

calpurnia nagios # grep hostext nagios.cfg
xodtemplate_config_file=/etc/nagios/hostextinfo.cfg

calpurnia nagios # cat hostextinfo.cfg
define hostextinfo{
        host_name       harper
        notes_url       https://harper.domain.com <https://harper.domain.com>
        icon_image      gentoo.png
        icon_image_alt  Gentoo 2005.0
        vrml_image      gentoo.png
        statusmap_image gentoo.gd2
        2d_coords       100,250
        3d_coords       100.0,50.0,75.0
        }

calpurnia nagios # /usr/nagios/bin/nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg
Nagios 1.3

Error: Invalid object definition type 'hostextinfo' in file '/etc/nagios/hostextinfo.cfg' on line 1.



Any thoughts?



Thanks,

James





P.S. If this doesn't come in plain text, I couldn't figure out how to set it in OWA
