You've got to love when you ans your own questions... But, since I found it
I figured I would put it out there so other people can see as well (just
because I saw that other people on the list were experiencing similar
problems)...
My problem was this:
I did not compile nagios with --with-default-extinfo flag (see
<http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xeddefault.html>)
Solution:
I used the template based extended information instead (see
<http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xeddefault.html>). I put the line
xedtemplate_config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/serviceextinfo.cfg in my
cgi.conf and created the file /usr/local/nagios/etc/serviceextinfo.cfg with
the following:
define serviceextinfo {
service_description /
host_name localhost
notes_url
/cgi-bin/show.cgi?host=$HOSTNAME$&service=$SERVICEDESC$
icon_image graph.png
icon_image_alt View Graphs
}
And it worked :)
So, hopefully this may help out someone else.
cheers
