When you compile nagios, which hostextinfo method did you use?

--with-mysql-extinfo - hostextinfo is kept in mysql database.
--with-pgsql-extinfo - hostextinfo is kept in postgres database.
--with-default-extinfo - hostextinfo is kept in CGI config file (deprecated)
--with-template-extinfo - hostextinfo using templates ( what you are trying to do)

If you want to use templates, compile nagios with --with-template-extinfo.
Then in your CGI config, tell it where template-extinfo file is.
xedtemplate_config_file=/install/nagios/nagios-1.1/sample-config/template-extinfo/hostextinfo.cfg

Hope this helps

hello again,

i am just working in compiling nagios again
now i guess i have two possibilities to set coordinates???? is that right?

################################################## ####
one opportunity is to configure the following?:

"hostextinfo.cfg"
and the link in the cgi.cfg file
xedtemplate_config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostextinfo.cfg )

example:define hostextinfo
{
use hei1
host_name SERVER
2d_coords 300,300
icon_image turbolinux.png
icon_image_alt SERVER
vrml_image turbolinux.png
statusmap_image turbolinux.gd2

3d_coords 1.0,0.0,0.0
}

why does this not work???????

################################################## ###
the other opportunity is to configure coordinates directly in the cgi.cfg???

hostextinfo[es-eds]=/serverinfo/es-eds.html;novell40.gif;novell40.jpg;
IntranetWare4.11;100,50;3.5,0.0,-1.5;

why does this not work???????

i hope you could help me???
