Woops, didn't mean to confuse. I made my own sub-directory structure under 
/usr/local/nagios/etc to organize my configs. The "extended" directory isn't 
created by default. It's not required.

Woops! Again, more confusion, sorry.
There *is* a section for configuring extended information using a database 
to provide the config info. But that is not required to do extended 
information. It's just an alternate method.

Here's what I have in my cgi.cfg file:

xedtemplate_config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/extended/hosts.cfg
xedtemplate_config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/extended/routers.cfg
xedtemplate_config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/extended/switches.cfg
xedtemplate_config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/extended/services.cfg

Then each of those config files has the appropiate definitions for the 
appropiate hosts, services, etc. It's important to make sure that the nagios 
process can access these config files. So make sure the directories are 
readable as well as the actual .cfg files. Even if the ownerships are 
correct, if one of your directories has access set like this:

	drwxrw-r--    2 nagios   nagios       4096 May 10 00:09 extended

then when the CGI scripts try and read the config file they will probably 
fail silently. The permissions should look like:

	drwxrwxr-x    2 nagios   nagios       4096 May 10 00:09 extended


Of course you don't have to make a sub-directory for the extended config 
files. Or you can call it whatever you want. This is just an example.
