struggling to display image on custom dashboard

[CommunityUser]

Hi ,

I am struggling to find information on how to specify the url for an image I want to display on my dashboard ...

Lets say the image resides on the same linux machine the controller is running on.

thanks

The issue is that simply using a file path for the image will not work. In order to display an image on a custom dashboard the image has to be "served" from somewhere. That is to say, it has to be available as an http URL. Unless the image is inside the filesystem served by an http server, it won't work. Thus a path like /home/myuser/images/image.png will not work, but if you put a web server on the host and put the image in the web server's filesystem, then then http://localhost/image.png will work.

Hope that clarifies things.

Thanks - 

i managed to stage the image on a webserver.

Give the url as you would type it in a browser. For example:

http://community.appdynamics.com

I would assume that would be more for the I frame... 

However - I would like to insert an image ...

Actually it is the same. Both take URLs.
