hostextinfo unavailable to CGIs

[Scott Ripley]

I knew it was going to be something painfully obvious. I didn't have the
have_2d_coords field set to 1 in the hostextinfo table. Everything is
working correctly now.

Subject: [Nagios-users] hostextinfo unavailable to CGIs



All,

I have converted my NetSaint installation to Nagios over the weekend, and
most everything has gone well. I used the FreeBSD port of 1.06b for the
installation, and added the mysql compile options to the Makefile. Most of
the mysql features are working, but I was still having difficulty getting
hostextinfo to the CGIs. So, things like the icons for hosts, external urls
for host info, and statusmap were not working.

I went ahead and converted my hostextinfo to template format, and tried
adding it as an option in the cgi.cfg.
xedtemplate_config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostextinfo.cfg

No luck there either. 

I noticed that I compiled with both:
                --with-template-extinfo \
and
		   --with-mysql-extinfo \

So, I reinstalled without the --with-template-extinfo option. Now I am
getting extended host information on status.cgi and extinfo.cgi, but still
no user-coordinates for the statusmap. I suppose I could go back to the
template based extinfo, but I would like to have this in the database if
possible. Any ideas?

TIA,

Scott.

Here are the options in my makefile:

CONFIGURE_ARGS= --with-command-user=nagios \
                --with-command-grp=nagioscmd \
                --with-nagios-user=nagios \
                --with-nagios-grp=nagios \
                --with-template-objects \
                --with-init-dir=${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d \
                --sbindir=${PREFIX}/share/nagios/cgi-bin \
                --libexecdir=${PREFIX}/libexec/nagios \
                --datadir=${PREFIX}/share/nagios \
                --sysconfdir=${PREFIX}/etc/nagios \
                --localstatedir=${PREFIX}/var/nagios \
                --prefix=${PREFIX} \
                --with-mysql-xdata \
                --with-mysql-status \
                --with-mysql-comments \
                --with-mysql-extinfo \
                --with-mysql-retention \
                --with-mysql-downtime \
                --with-mysql-lib=${PREFIX}/lib/mysql \
                --with-mysql-inc=${PREFIX}/include/mysql
