NagVis is a visualization addon for the well known network managment system Nagios.
NagVis can be used to visualize Nagios Data, e.g. to display IT processes like a mail system or a network infrastructure.
Add own Shapes
Since NagVis 1.x you can add "stateless Icons" to your maps, we call them shapes. These icons are completely like the other icons, they only have no state .
What is a shape?
A shape is nothing else than an simple image. We recommend to use PNG images as format for the shapes.
Which programm shall I use to create a shape?
Almost every graphic art software has the possibility to build PNG-files.
Implementing the shape
The shapes are placed in nagvis/images/shapes. Just copy them to this directory, then you can use them in your maps.
The test
Open one of your maps and add a new shape-icon. You should now be able to select your own shapes.
