Problem with nagioschecker and display_name in Icinga host definition

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.set attribute display_name in host object definition to another name than the 
host_name 
2. Click on a related service in the nagioschecker- window
3. Nagios Checker opens an error-page in icinga

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Example:
define host{
use lnx-tmpl-host
host_name lin0086
alias lin0086
display_name other_name
address 10.139.96.86
contact_groups ib1
}

Nagios Checker opens
http://icinga.rz.lsv.de/icinga/cgi-bin/extinfo.cgi?type=2&host=other_name&servic
e=fs_/root

The result is "Error: Service not found"

Has to be:
http://icinga.rz.lsv.de/icinga/cgi-bin/extinfo.cgi?type=2&host=lin0086&service=f
s_/root

Any chance to change the search to use the host_name?

What version of the product are you using (Nagios Checker and Nagios)? On what 
operating system?
Nagios Checker 0.15.3 and Icinga, OS: Open Suse 

Kind regards,

Statement from Michael Friedrich, Icinga- Development: "well, in html this is a 
real display name, used for the purpose of "shadowing" the real name. those 
addons probably parse the pure html output, rather than using the csv or json 
attributes.

my advice - tell the addon devs to use proper export functionality. html is not 
a valid choice anymore given the json and csv capabailities. and afaik anag in 
the newest version also supports icinga json."

Any chance to support icinga?

Kind regards,
Lara
