<p><strong>Host - statusmap image<br> </strong></p>
<p>This variable is used to define the name of an image that should be associated with this host in the statusmap CGI. You can specify a JPEG, PNG, and GIF image if you want, although I would strongly suggest using a GD2 format image, as other image formats will result in a lot of wasted CPU time when the statusmap image is generated.</p>
<p>GD2 images can be created from PNG images by using the <strong>pngtogd2</strong> utility supplied with Thomas Boutell's gd library .  The GD2 images should be created in <em>uncompressed</em> format in order to minimize CPU load when the statusmap CGI is generating the network map image.</p>
<p>The image will look best if it is 40x40 pixels in size. You can leave these option blank if you are not using the statusmap CGI. Images for hosts are assumed to be in the <strong>logos/</strong> subdirectory in your HTML images directory (i.e. <em>/usr/local/nagios/share/images/logos</em>).</p>
