Maps: blinking elements

Sure. It's as simply as adding some code to the styles_custom_v2.css, located under C:\Program Files (x86)\PRTG Network Monitor\webroot\css:

#mapelement_2008_1 {
      animation: blink 1s steps(5, start) infinite;
      -webkit-animation: blink 1s steps(5, start) infinite;
    }
    @keyframes blink {
      to {
        visibility: hidden;
      }
    }
    @-webkit-keyframes blink {
      to {
        visibility: hidden;
      }
    }

To get the element ID, open the map in a browser, right click and hit "Inspect element" (depending on the browser) and copy the div ID.

Note: In PRTG versions 13.2.3 through 17.3.33, the file for custom code is styles_custom.css,

The problem is that I don't understand how to retrieve the state of an element. As example: if I'm in the map, I select a device and I put in the map an "Icon C" element how can I retrieve if the state is up, down or warning?

That on the other hand, is not possible - sorry :(

Maybe it could be a new feature: add in the maps the possibility to define some HTML for each state (down, up, warning). Something like the Before HTML and After HTML, but executed only when the correlated state pop up.

I'm afraid that such a thing won't be implemented in the near future. Sorry!

Hi,

I know this post is old but I would need this feature too. The only problem is that this ccs code is making the item blink constantly. How do I make it blink only when there is an error ?

Thanks

Sorry, that probably won't make its way into PRTG I'm afraid.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. One colleague who left the company set up map with the logos of all the customers and he managed to make the square turn red when an issue was detected. Could you explain to me how to do that ?

Sorry, I'm not sure about that. But he may have used one of the Status-Aware icons in the "Status Icons" category? That's the only thing I could think of :)
