Hello Dan,

You can store customized icons in the

webroot\mapicons\iconset7
webroot\mapicons\iconset8

directories. This is also described in this article.

Best regards, Felix

Hi Felix,

I already read that article, but it does not help for me. If I save the device icons under webroot\mapicons\iconset7 or iconset8 they will be static icons, but I need "active" ones which show me device name and status (number of alarm/warning, etc sensors). Like in case of Default Icons A (under :\PRTG Network Monitor\webroot\mapicons\defaulticons1 ). Even if I save my .jpg image (PBX.jpg) under :\PRTG Network Monitor\webroot\images and create a *.htm file called PBX.htm under :\PRTG Network Monitor\webroot\mapobjects, it does not help because the icon under Status Icon --> Status related Background - has the same static behavior. It is not an "active" Icon which to show me device name and status for which it represents. Content of PBX.htm bottom. Is there something else that has to be changed, besides img src? (I'm a networking guy, not a programming one).

<!--Status Icons: Status Related Background-->

<div class="map_object map_icon2 map_icon_large <#sensor type="colorclassofstate" prefix="map_iconcolor_" id="<@objectid>">" id="<@itemid>" objectid="<@objectid>" subid="<@subid>" style="<#mapobject type="coordinates" subid="<@subid>" mode="<@editmode>">">
  <#mapobject type="objectgrip" mode="<@editmode>">
  <#mapobject type="htmlbefore" subid="<@subid>">
  <img src="/images/PBX.jpg">
  <#mapobject type="htmlafter" subid="<@subid>">
</div>
"
