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?
Greetings
Marc
The distinction has been maintained primarily for historical reasons.
I will most likely be moving host/service extended info definitions
into the host/service definitions in Nagios 3.0.

Why don't you use the hostgroup_name in the hostextinfo definition ?
Then you don't have to define images for each and every host
define hostextinfo{
hostgroup_name
notes
icon_image
statusmap_image
notes_url
}
