Hallo !! I have modified „SaintMap“ that it produces an output in the Template-Based way and I have written 2 little perl programmes that transfom hosts.cfg and hostextinfo.cfg into a simplified default (old) method definition. I use the “old” method as input for SaintMap.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> How to Use:<o:p></o:p> Copy hosts2default.pl and hostextinfo2default.pl into the nagios-etc-folder (for instance, /usr/local/nagios/etc/) and run “./hosts2default.pl” and “./hostextinfo2default.pl” (both executable !!) on the command line in the nagios-etc-folder (Make a backup first !! ; )) Hosts2default.pl returns a file called hostsdefault.cfg and it contains only the host_name and one (!) parent !! Hostextinfo2default.pl creates a file with the name hostextinfodefault.cfg.<o:p></o:p> The next step is to start SaintMap (executable !!) in a XTERM-window with the command “./saintmap.pl”. Then you open hostsdefault.cfg and hostextinfo.cfg. You can now see your old map (no images – only the “?” appears as icon). Next: Drag-and-Drop.<o:p></o:p> When you have finished your work, save to any file (best: hostextinfo.cfg) and this file contains your “Extended Host Information”.<o:p></o:p> SEE YOU<o:p></o:p> HPS<o:p></o:p> <SPAN lang=EN-GB style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: DE; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA">PS: I’m not in the MailingList !! <hr size=1>Do you Yahoo!? <a href="http://rd.yahoo.com/mail/mailsig/*http://mailplus.yahoo.com">Yahoo!
