Dear community,
We are working with an integration of the DataMiner maps and while the help instructions have allowed us to fully integrate the needed layers, we are facing some challenges with the visualization of custom images outside the ones that ship with DataMiner.
We have noticed that there seems to be some caching affecting the images visualization, since adding a new image and renaming it as one of the default ones does not have any effect and the original image continues to display.
Are there any configurations that need to be applied outside the “configs” file(s) in order for new images to be accepted by the maps?
Thank you in advance,
Hi Rene, What is the path where you store your images. I know from past experiences that there are two locations which I had found so-called sprites (combination of markers per alarm color). Maybe you need to tweak both locations and see if it would work?
- C:\Skyline DataMiner\Webpages\Maps\images\icons
- C:\Skyline DataMiner\Webpages\Maps\v1\images\icons
Hi Rene,
(I don’t believe any configuration is required outside the maps config files).
Can you check if you can see the correct marker images, by browsing to the specific marker file?
e.g. http://localhost/maps/images/icons/blocks.png
If that doesn’t show the expected marker, can you do a force refresh of the page (ctrl-F5)?
Ive – Yes the images show just fine via the URL. They do not render in the Maps though. Thanks
Jarno, you got it. The images need to be placed in the v1imagesicons for the maps to recognize them. Doing this made it work for our case.
As another note, when referencing the image from within the config file, “v1” should not be included in the path. It is being assumed by the web server as the root path.
Thank you!
