Hi Billy,
Here's what I do:
in cgi.cfg add:
xedtemplate_config_file=/etc/nagios/hostextinfo.cfg
create a file /etc/nagios/hostextinfo.cfg
inside that for each host:
define hostextinfo
{
host_name foo.bar
statusmap_image cisco7206.gd2
2d_coords 250, 100
}
put in the appropriate entries i.e.
notes_url url
icon_image image_file
icon_image_alt alt_string
etc inside the { brackets }
after that issue a:
/etc/init.d/nagios reload
and ease off on the coffee :-)
