Hi Brian,
You don't need to specify the service_description in the serviceextinfo
file see the docs...
Info taken from Extended Service Information Definition
Description:
Extended service information entries are basically used to make the
output from the status and extinfo CGIs look pretty. They have no effect
on monitoring and are completely optional.
Definition Format:
Note: Variables in red are required, while those in black are optional.
However, you need to supply at least one optional variable in each
definition for it to be of much use.
define serviceextinfo{
host_name host_name
service_description service_description notes note_string notes_url
url action_url url icon_image image_file icon_image_alt alt_string
}
Example Definition:
define serviceextinfo{
host_name linux2
service_description Log Anomalies
notes Security-related log anomalies on
secondary Linux server
notes_url
http://webserver.localhost.localdomain/serviceinfo.pl?host=linux2&servic
e=Log+Anomalies
icon_image security.png
icon_image_alt Security-Related Alerts
}

Subject: [Nagios-users] host name problem
Hello all, does anyone know why the following problem occurs:
I have some hosts having duplicate name issues when adding the
serviceextinfo information for those hosts.
Host 1 is called earth, host 2 is called earthquake.
Here's the hosts.cfg definition:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----
define host{
name generic-host
notifications_enabled 1
event_handler_enabled 1
flap_detection_enabled 1
failure_prediction_enabled 1
process_perf_data 1
retain_status_information 1
retain_nonstatus_information 0
register 0
}
define host{
use generic-host ; Name of host
template to use
host_name earth
alias earth
address 127.0.0.1
check_command check-host-alive
max_check_attempts 10
notification_interval 120
notification_period 24x7
notification_options d,r
contact_groups admins
}
define host{
use generic-host ; Name of host
template to use
host_name earthquake
alias earthquake
address 127.0.0.1
check_command check-host-alive
max_check_attempts 10
notification_interval 120
notification_period 24x7
notification_options d,r
contact_groups admins
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------
And here is the services.cfg
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------
define service{
name generic-service
active_checks_enabled 1
passive_checks_enabled 1
parallelize_check 1
obsess_over_service 1
check_freshness 0
notifications_enabled 1
event_handler_enabled 1
flap_detection_enabled 1
failure_prediction_enabled 1
process_perf_data 1
retain_status_information 1
retain_nonstatus_information 0
register 0
}
define service{
use generic-service ; Name
of service template to use
host_name earth,earthquake
service_description PING
is_volatile 0
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 2
normal_check_interval 5
retry_check_interval 1
contact_groups admins
notification_options w,u,c,r
notification_interval 60
notification_period 24x7
check_command check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------
Everything works great now, until i add some serviceextinfo:
serviceextinfo.cfg:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------
define serviceextinfo{
host_name earthquake
icon_image dot.png' border="0"></a><A
TARGET="_blank" HREF="graphs.cgi?host=earthquake&service=PING"><img
src='/nagios/cgi-bin/rrd2-system.cgi?host=earthquake&service=PING&start=
-5400&title=Actual&width=20&height=20&type=AVERAGE&only-graph=true'
service_description PING
notes_url https://wiki/$HOSTNAME$-$SERVICEDESC$
}
define serviceextinfo{
host_name earth
icon_image dot.png' border="0"></a><A
TARGET="_blank" HREF="graphs.cgi?host=earth&service=PING"><img
src='/nagios/cgi-bin/rrd2-system.cgi?host=earth&service=PING&start=-5400
&title=Actual&width=20&height=20&type=AVERAGE&only-graph=true'
service_description PING
notes_url https://wiki/$HOSTNAME$-$SERVICEDESC$
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, now when I run ../bin/nagios -v ./nagios.cfg I get the error:
root at nagios:/opt/nagios/etc# ../bin/nagios -v ./nagios.cfg
Nagios 2.5

Reading configuration data...
Error: Could not add duplicate serviceextinfo entry for service 'PING'
on host 'earthquake'.
Error: Could not allocate memory for serviceextinfo list to add extended
info for service 'PING' on host 'earthquake'.
Error: Could not register extended service information (config file
'/opt/nagios/etc/checkcommands.cfg', starting on line 135111232)
Any suggestions on getting the serviceextinfo.cfg entries working for
these 2 hosts? It works if I only have one of the hosts in the cfg
file?
Thanks!
