Hi, to me, the distinction between host definition and hostextinfo definition seems artificial, awkward and clumsy - and it prevents some of the more powerful features from being used with the information that belongs into hostextinfo.
Hostextinfo doesn't seem to support templates, and it doesn't seem to be possible to set information that is set as hostextinfo from a host group or via wildcards. This makes it extraordinarily hard to - for example - set host icons for the status map, since it needs a dedicated hostextinfo definition setting icon_image and statusmap_image for each host which might have all other properties set from a template. Is there any reason for keeping this distinction and not including hostextinfo into main configuration? Am I missing something here?
