statusmap.cgi Icons

[Robertson, Brown]

Pete, 

The only things I did were to add 

xedtemplate_config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/test.cfg

to cgi.cfg (only concerned with adding icons to hosts at this point)

and I created test.cfg to which I added lines such as the following:

define hostextinfo{ 
             	host_name 		Batman
            	notes_url		http://nagios.maac.net/batman.htm
              	icon_image 		FaxServer.png
              	icon_image_alt 	Batman
             	vrml_image 	FaxServer.png 
             	statusmap_image 	FaxServer.gd2 
	}

(Yes, all our servers are superheroes;-))

Now, in reference to your question about multiple references to an icon for multiple hosts. That's exactly what I did. I created entries such as the above for "every" single host that I wanted a special graphic attributed to. My graphics were located in /usr/local/nagios/share/images/logos

Now, the problem I experienced was that some graphic files would show up, while others did not. No rhyme or reason, I just had to experiment with graphic files until I found a collection that would actually show up. 

As far as your question marks going away. I would make sure unknown.gd2,png,etc. is not corrupted, and if not, delete all contents of your hostextinfo.cfg file, and remove the xedtemplate reference in your cgi.cfg file. See if it comes back at that point, and possibly start over. I tried not to make too many changes at once, and only added a few hosts at a time. Good luck. Brown.

Brown,

Any idea why the "?" would stop appearing???  

If you specify a special icon for one host or service, do you have to 
specify one for every host and/or service?  (I think not).

Thanks

I recently got it working, but I noticed some anomolies which might be the cause of so many people either claiming to have followed proper procedure with no result. I found that regardless of properly configuration, some icon files (png,gd2,gif,jpg) will NOT show up properly. I really just had to do it by trial and error. Some icons would show up fine, and other's would show the default "unknown.***" question mark graphic. I'm still investigating, and am not sure why this is the case, but it made me wonder if some people are repeatedly trying to use the same icon graphic with negative results, and stopping there. If so, try other graphic files and see if you are also experiencing this anomoly. Thanks, Brown Robertson.
