<P><FONT SIZE=2>I am in the process of configuring Nagios for the first time. I am running the latest version (1.0) on a powerful Pentium 166.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I have configured some parts of my network totaling about 80 hosts. I am now attempting to change the icons for the systems in the status map. I have created a xedtemplate_config_file and put records similar to the following for all my systems.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>define hostextinfo {</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> host_name swrtant1</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> icon_image cisco-switch.png</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> statusmap_image cisco-switch.png</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>}</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>It now takes more than 60 seconds to generate the statusmap.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I tried gd2 files created using the following command:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>pngtogd2 cisco-switch.png cisco-switch.gd2 64 1 and they show up as question marks. I believe I may be having some gd2 image compatability problems.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Does anyone have suggestions on how to improve the time it takes to draw the statusmap? </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>If a hardware upgrade is required what type of machine will I need to monitor my entire network (~200 systems, approximately 10 different types with corresponding images).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks for your help,</FONT>
