How do I get "device" icon to show up on Custom Map Object?

Votes:

0

I can create a custom map item based on existing map objects but it is extremely hard to find which map object .htm files are used for which map items. I am just starting out customizing map items and can get a simple status map object with an image icon in it, but I have to place that icon image in it manually. I am trying to load the image with the device icon like for example the default iconA first selection does. I don't want the Computer graphic but I want to replicate the small icon followed by device name. (Hover allowing selection of sensor would be greatas well) and below it the status icons. Below is the Custom item I am testing with.

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

<div class="map_object map_icon2 mapicon_status_white  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/HarmonicLogo.png" ALIGN="left" HSPACE="3" VSPACE="5">
  <div class="label" style="width:100%;text-align:right;font-size:large;padding-right: 8px"><#objectproperty name="Name" id="<@objectid>"></div>
  <span>
<#objectstatus name="downsens"  id="<@objectid>">
<#objectstatus name="downacksens"  id="<@objectid>">
<#objectstatus name="warnsens" id="<@objectid>">
<#objectstatus name="upsens" id="<@objectid>">
<!--<#objectstatus name="pausedsens" id="<@objectid>">-->
<#objectstatus name="unusualsens" id="<@objectid>">
<#objectstatus name="undefinedsens" id="<@objectid>">

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

I just used that as a starter object and I was going to have it on status background but found any paused sensors took over the background color and I have plenty that have paused sensors I want to ignore. I can slap my own image in like I did above but I want to use the one associated with the device to make this a more universal object. Maybe an #objectproperty icon = "Icon"

Hello,

Maybe these articles might help you here:

Where can I find custom map objects and other map customizations?

How can I add or edit map objects used for PRTG's maps?

Otherwise, I'm afraid we as Paessler cannot help further with customization: What is your position towards customizing the PRTG web interface?. Maybe someone else out of the community might be able to help here.

Kind Regards,
Timo Dambach

I had to dig through the API documentation and found references to extracting the URL for a sensor icon. For the API /api/getobjectstatus.htm?id=objectid&name=columnname you get the object status parameter where "name" is actually the parameter you are looking for. When Name is "icon" you get the URL of the icon. So I put it in the form of Map objects and

<#objectstatus name="icon" id="<@objectid>

returns the URL of the icon assigned to that object. As an entry in the custom sensor htm file it just displays the icon. I can't seem to get it to be used in an img statement that would allow me to format it more precisely but it is good enough for now.
