Hi, I found the custom attribute icon\_image which works perfekt with the icons from /usr/share/icingaweb2/public/img/icons. I want to use some of my own icons and coby them to the directory, but there is no view on icingaweb2. Any ideas why custom icons dont work? ---

You should be able to place your own icons beneath `/usr/share/icingaweb2/public` somewhere. Though preferably a custom directory (path) as Web 2’s paths are managed by packages. Then use the path relative to `.../public` (e.g. `.../public/your/icon.png` would be `your/icon.png`) and Web 2 should display the icons. ---

Works very well for me. What does your browser show if you access the icon directly? (`/icingaweb2/custom/icons8-wi-fi-16.png`) ---

Which permissions are set for directory and image? ---

`/usr/share/icingaweb2` and all files and sub-directories belong to user&group `root` with `755` permissions for the directories and `744` permissions for the files. So the icons under `/usr/share/icingaweb2/public/img/icon` have `744` permissions ---

In training a couple of weeks back, the trainer showed a way to display all available icons from within Icinga Web, but I can’t recall what that page was. Would anyone know? Thank you, Jean ---

`/doc/style/font`, only available with an enabled `doc` module. ---

Thanks a lot, nice page, but this was not the one. The page the trainer showed was one with all icons, in colour, with their xxx.png name. ---

There is no public interface for that but this might help: > **[icingaweb2/public/img/icons at main · Icinga/icingaweb2](https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2/tree/main/public/img/icons)** > > A lightweight and extensible web interface to keep an eye on your environment.

First approach: add the following to `/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf`: ```auto Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Order deny,allow Allow from all ``` After an httpd restart, the page [https://your-icinga/icingaweb2/img/icons/](https://your-icinga/icingaweb2/img/icons/) will then show the list of files names without the pictures, but a click on the name will show the picture. Second approach: copy the icons directory on a workstation and view the files in a file browser. Much more effective 😉 ---

Yes, I did ask, and he did reply. He doesn’t remember demonstrating anything similar.
