extended information

[James]

In the cgi.cfg file put the following line the main_config_file line.
(replacing HostExtInfo.cfg with whatever yours is called)

xedtemplate_config_file=/etc/nagios/HostExtInfo.cfg

In my case there is no synchronization between the logo file that show
up in Nagmin and the one that are used by nagios.  Your logos need to
be  under nagios "images/logo" folder (in my case
/usr/share/nagios/images/logos) for them to show up.

At the moment if I introduce new logos I have to copy them to both the
webmin/nagmin/images/logos folder and to the nagios images/logos folder.

Status map images need to be in gd2 format to show up.

By the way my current config is on Fedora, usings Dags RPMS, and using
nagmin for the configuration interface.

I haven't looked over the Nagmin Portal piece yet, I'm just happy about
the flexiblity having configs in a database gives you.

It's working for me to the point that I'm close to shutting down my Big
Brother instances who continue to plague me with network check purple
problems.
