#2 More info required

[Anonymous]

I am attempting to use this tool as the install
instructions seemed simple enough. Here are the
problems I had:

1. the readme says to add data to
the 'serviceextinfo.cfg' file. This file does not exsist in
my version of nagios (1.2). I attempted to create the
file in /usr/local/nagios/etc with the correct settings but
no graph appears.

2. I was unable to find any data on setting up a host to
create the graphs. I assume some entries need to be
made in hosts.cfg (perhaps I am wrong and correcting
the above will solve my problems).

Thanks for the help.

Have you defined the serviceextinfo.cfg in your nagios.cfg
file? Otherwise it won't find it.

The serviceext.cfg-file does not seem to be included by
default and have to be created (sorry for being missleading in
the README of nagiostat). You have to create the file and
add the following line to cgi.cfg:
xedtemplate_config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/serviceextinfo.cf
g
OR you can (at least in nagios 1.2) add the service ext-info
directly in the cgi.cfg-file (as entered in the serviceext.cfg-
file according to the README).

But when we come to you second question, i'm not really sure
what you mean. You have to define the hosts you want to
make performance monitoring on using nagiostat as you
normally would define them in nagios. Nagiostat is only a add-
on that makes use of the output from nagios normal plug-ins.

I know the answer to the first question

1) Recompile your nagios installation with the
"--with-template-extinfo" tag
