Creating Maps using Visio

  • create a Visio network diagram as usual
  • insert status or status connector stencil from the BigSister shapes
  • in their custom property BigSister enter the name of a group (e.g. SERVERS) or a status item (e.g. srv1.conn)
  • draw a rectangle around the whole diagram - it is ok if it is transparent
  • name the diagram examplemap
  • export the diagram as PNG under the name example.png
  • save the diagram as VDX file
  • copy the two files to the BigSister configuration directory on the server (usually /etc/bigsister)
  • run bsvisio example.VDX > example.cfg
  • add %image example.cfg to your bs-display.cfg
