Linux SNMP host displays with Windows Server icon

Post by ABlack »

I created a Liunx SNMP host (not able to get NRPE to report correctly yet) on the Nagios XI VMWare image. The host retrieves data and monitors correctly, however the icon is the one used for Windows Server. The icon is persistent between the Host Status Detail, Host Status, and Service Details screens.

Is there a way for me to correct the icon for this host?

My long term goal is to get NRPE working properly for SLES hosts.

You can change this image through the Core Config Manager. Click on "Hosts", find your host and click on the "Modify" button. Go to the "Misc Settings" tab and find the "Icon image". Click on the "Help" button for more info.

Browse your "/usr/local/nagios/share/images/logos" directory for linux.png. You should have one. You can type in terminal:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/nagios/share/images/logos
ls | grep linux.png
Type in the text box "linux.png" (it is case sensitive). Click "Save" and "Apply Configuration". That's all.

Note: You can use a different icon if you want, or create a custom icon (png format; 40x40 pixels) and copy it into "/usr/local/nagios/share/images/logos".

Hope this helps.

That worked to change the icon. Is there a way to correct the Linux SNMP configuration or will I have to manually change this for all 138 linux hosts?
