Change Status Map Icon

[apit]

hi there…
i already setup my nagios ver 3.2.0…Just following your quick setup guide…everthing is running fine.

For my daily task, usually i will use the “status map” to view overall my network status…the thing is, the question mark (?) symbol for every switch is not very pretty view for me…quite boring…

i try to change it using “Extended Host Information Definition” tutorial…this my setup files look like (/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/switches/disti.cfg):

define host{
use generic-switch ; Inherit default values from a template
host_name C3560G-Serverfarm ; The name we’re giving to this switch
alias Cisco Catalyst 3560G ; A longer name associated with the switch
address 172.16.20.1 ; IP address of the switch
hostgroups Distribution ; Host groups this switch is associated with
icon_image cisco.png
icon_image_alt cisco 3560G
statusmap_image cisco.gd2
parents C6509-GLBP
}

after issuing commnd (# /etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios restart), what i got from “status map” is square image…no more question mark icon neither my switch icon.

How to solve it?

please do NOT use restart… use stop and start or reload instead, i don’t know if that problem has ever been fixed but it still worries me

do the logs show anything? i’m not using imagemaps anymore so i don’t have them configured but i rememebr some problems with the images itself.
