You may want this for the future anyway, so why don’t you try to get nagiosmap running, and that way, it will let you pick and choose what icons to use for each host. It will come in handy later on anyhow, so check it out.
please check to see if your images are in the folder /images/logos
Also, trying changing the permissions on the images.
I had this problem and on changing the permissions it solved the problem
thanks a lot for the reply…
the permissions are OK, i have the right to read the images.
for nagiosmap i don’t know where i can get it except from nagiosexchange as i can’t acced to it as the policy is denied from my net provider.
can u give me another link to get it?
many thanks!
Many thanks…
it seems that with nagiosmap we can do a lot for the 2-D view.
but i really have no idea how things must be done.
where should I put nagiosmap.pl, how to say to nagios to look at it…
nagios doesn’t look at nagiosmap. It’s a tool to help you move your hosts around on a 2d grid so that your map looks just the way YOU want it to look. It also will allow you to pick and choose what icons you want to use for each host. That’s why I thought you should try it out.
You can run the app on any machine with a Xserver. You only need to provide the hosts.cfg and hostextinfo.cfg file plus the icons location. All of that can be just copied over and then copied back once you have saved the new info from nagiosmap.
tried nagiosmap, finally… but no luck… after installing everything required it reads the hosts.cfg file but hangs on "Please wait while reading hostextinfo.cfg …"
any ideas? a quick search in google gave me no answers…
permissions on the hostextinfo file? if I’m not mistaken, you can start with a blank hostextinfo.cfg file and then when you are done moving hosts around, it will write a nice clean fresh one. So just remove everything from that file.
I know nagiosmap was tricky to compile, since it need alot of stuff. Did you have any trouble compiling?
Did you check the settings in nagiosmap.pl?
my $imgpath="/usr/local/nagios/share/images/logos/“
my $cfgpath=”/usr/local/nagios/etc"
There may be something it doesn’t like in the hosts or hostextinfo file, so try this. Create a blank hostextinfo.cfg and a hoststest.cfg with only one host entry and give that a try.
