HOWTO Combine v1 hostextinfo/serviceextinfo into v2 hosts/service files?

[Peter Farrell]

I am migrating two servers in our DMZ from Nagios v1 to Nagios v2.

As Nagios v2 doesn't use the '*extinfo' config files anymore, where do
you actually put the
extinfo? The docs say that it can be combined into the hosts and
service cfg files, but I was wondering if anyone had an example they
could post?

For example: service.cfg
define service{
        use                             generic-passive
        host_name                       venus, zeus
        service_description             SWAP
        check_period                    24x7
        normal_check_interval           5
        retry_check_interval            1
        contact_groups                  linux-admins
        notification_interval           120
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            w,u,c,r
        check_command                  
check_by_ssh!'/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_swap -w 70% -c 90%'
        }

And my previous serviceextinfo.cfg:
define serviceextinfo{
	host_name		venus
	service_description	SWAP Free
	notes_url		/nagios/nagiostat/nagiostat.cgi?graph_name=venus-swap
	icon_image		graph.gif
	icon_image_alt		View Graphs For This Service
	}

Would they all result in something that looked like this:
define service{
        use                             generic-passive
        host_name                       venus, zeus
        service_description             SWAP
	notes_url			/nagios/nagiostat/nagiostat.cgi?graph_name=venus-swap
	icon_image			graph.gif
	icon_image_alt			View Graphs For This Service
        check_period                    24x7
        normal_check_interval           5
        retry_check_interval            1
        contact_groups                  linux-admins
        notification_interval           120
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            w,u,c,r
        check_command                  
check_by_ssh!'/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_swap -w 70% -c 90%'
        }

Or do you just literally copy over all the stanza's from the old config files ?
Any ideas?
