I’ve got Nagios 3.0.2 on Ubuntu 6.10. Everything seems to be running fine except for the statusmap icons. They all show up in question marks. I’ve read in quite a few posts that I need to edit hostextinfo.cfg in nagios.cfg, but there seems to be no entry for hostextinfo.cfg in nagios.cfg. I’ve also looked for a stand-alone file and couldn’t find that either. Is the configuration different in 3.0.2?
for the icon try t use .png .jpg .gif and note when your editing your hostextinfo.cfg be sure to look the name of the file e.g the name of the files is cisco.PNG (capital) but you put in the hostextinfo .cfg cisco.png definitely its not working… i try its sometimes… so be careful…
Yes, you make a file with a bunch of entries like Dar-C said, then reference that file in your nagios.cfg. You’ll see a list of included config files (like services.cfg, hosts,cfg, etc etc) already in your nagios.cfg file. Just throw hostextinfo.cfg in the same format below the others.
Thanks folks! I got it working. I am having trouble finding a variable that works for a template. For example; I’d like to be able to just specify the host template to use “linux-server, windows-server, osx-server, etc” … is this even possible? I can’t imagine you would have to specify it for every single host. I looked at the link there in the above post and couldn’t find much about it.
