    Description

      After changing a server from one OS to another the OS icon does not get updated.

      For example: Server with Windows OS has an Windows OS icon and gets recognised as such OS. After changing the OS to for example Linux Debian. The Operating system description gets updated but the icon stays a Windows OS icon.

      So the description and OS text gets updated automatically, however the icon doesn't.

      A workaround is to login to the database of Observium and run the following SQL query:

      // update devices set icon = '';

      After this the icons get updated again with the right icons.

          This is only likely to happen with Windows because we set a logo for the specific version in the database, other OSes don't do this. Once the OS is changed, the mechanism used to update the specific logo doesn't exist, since it is only used on Windows.

          But really, you shouldn't be re-purposing device entries for new OSes. Rename and disable the old one, or delete it.
