Map customizing

Votes:

Hi,

I'd like to create a map that represents a server room. To make racks, I used a white rectangle white a black edge, but the links I make between my items (mostly servers and switches) doesn't appear, because the rectangles hide them. I tried to put them on background, and the links and the items on foreground, but nothing helps.

Any idea ? Regards, Theo

We are aware of this issue and are working on fixing the bug but I cannot say when it will be fixed.

If you create an object with the code below and save it as object_box1d.htm, you should have a new object in the objects section called Transparent box with black border. This object will show the lines between objects.

You have to save this file in the PRTG Network Monitor\webroot\mapobjects folder.

<!--Objects: Transparent box with black border-->

<div class="map_object map_graph" id="<@itemid>" objectid="<@objectid>" subid="<@subid>" style="<#mapobject type="coordinates" subid="<@subid>" mode="<@editmode>">">
<#mapobject type="objectgrip" mode="<@editmode>">
<#mapobject type="htmlbefore" subid="<@subid>">
<#checkobjecttype objecttype="sensor,probenode,group,device" nicemessage="true" id="<@objectid>">

	    <div style="display:block;width:<@width>px;height:<@height>px;background:255,0,0,0.5;border:2px solid black;">
		</div>

  <#mapobject type="htmlafter" subid="<@subid>">
</div>

Is there already a fix? The Workaround is ok so far, looking good, but now my sensors lying under these boxes and its impossible to interact with them.

Any hints? Regards, Martin

For that, please simply change the layer on which this map object now "sits", either via the icons to change the layer, or with the according input field on the top left area of the map designer.
