Create customized objects icons in the Network Atlas

Below are the steps on how to add customized object icons to Network atlas.

You can use any Windows Media File (.wmf) or Graphics Interchange Format (.gif) format graphic as a custom icon, but you must name the graphic files according to their roles. The file name must not contain any other dash (-) characters other than depicted in this table.
 

 
To add custom icons from graphics files:

1.    On your Orion NPM server, create or navigate to the following folder: 

• C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion\Network Atlas\Maps\NetObjects\Icons.
• C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion\Network Atlas\MapsWeb\NetObjects\Icons

• C:\Program Files\SolarWinds\Orion\Maps\NetObjects\Icons
• C:\Program Files\SolarWinds\Orion\Web\bin\Maps\NetObjects\Icons

Note: Images/folder must exist on both folders stated in order for images to show both in Network Atlas Application and on the Orion Web Console:

2.    Copy the graphics files to this folder.
3.    Start Orion Network Atlas on the Orion server to finalize the additional icons.

After copying the graphics files to their location, you can assign them as an icon as you would any other graphic image.

To assign a custom icon to an object:

1.    Right-click the object on the map, and then click Select Graphic.
2.    Select User Graphics in the left pane.
3.    Select your desired graphic image, and then click OK.

NOTE: The icons will not appear on Network Atlas if the Icon with no status (iconName.gif) is not created
