nagiosGrapher (howto ????? )

[Per Jørgensen]

Well - Now I have used all day trying to configure this NagiosGrapher - 
and ain't got no results out yet...
It's installed on Ubuntu using the package (autoconf,./configure - make 
install)

I'm doing something wrong but haven't got a clue about it - but really 
like the interface style - so it's a bit shame: here´s what i have done:

*nagios.cfg*
added the following lines:
cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/ngraph.d
cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/serviceext

process_performance_data=1
service_perfdata_command=process-service-perfdata

*perfdata.cfg:*
define command {
    command_name      process-service-perfdata
    command_line         /usr/local/nagios/contrib/fifo_write 
'$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$SERVICEOUTPUT$\t$SERVICEPERFDATA$\n' 3
}

*ngraph.ncfg:*
#  tabspace: 8

# Nagios Grapher Main Configuration

define config {
        pipe

        port                                    5667
        buffer                                  1024

# [EOF] (Don't remove this line ...)

And here´s is where I'll loose the overview
*serviceextinfo.cfg:
*define serviceextinfo {
        service_description     CPU
        notes                   View statestics
        action_url              
/nagios/cgi-bin/graphs.cgi?host=$HOSTNAME$&service=$SERVICEDESC$
        icon_image              graph.png
        icon_image_alt          View Statestic
        }

This gives me the icon but nothing else.

If I look in the log file - nothing usefull. ???
If I look in /usr/local/nagios/var/rrd       Nothing ???

So how do I get this to work - or what am I doing wrong - cannot see 
what I'm doing wrong or see from the DOCS on NagiosGrapher what I should 
do from here

So please help me satifies my boss and his customer.

Thanks
