Web console

Procedure

1. Import your logo file into a ConfigMap in the openshift-config namespace:

   $ oc create configmap console-custom-logo --from-file ~/path/to/console-custom-logo.png -n openshift-config

2. Edit the web console’s Operator configuration to include customLogoFile and customProductName:

   $ oc edit console.operator.openshift.io cluster

   apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1
   kind: Console
   metadata:
     name: cluster
   spec:
     customization:
       customLogoFile:
         name: console-custom-logo
         key: console-custom-logo.png
       customProductName: My Console

   Once the Operator configuration is updated, it will sync the custom logo ConfigMap into the console namespace, mount it to the console pod, and redeploy.

3. Check for success. If there are any issues, the console cluster operator will report Degraded, and the console Operator configuration will also report CustomLogoDegraded, but with reasons like KeyOrFilenameInvalid or NoImageProvided.

   To check the clusteroperator, run:

   $ oc get clusteroperator console -o yaml

   To check the console Operator configuration, run:

   $ oc get console.operator.openshift.io -o yaml
