Hiding the Endpoint Icon in the Systray

The Infoblox Endpoint icon is displayed in your systray (system tray) by default. You can configure to hide the icon during Endpoint installation or after the installation. At the time of installation of Infoblox Endpoint, if you do not want the systray icon to be displayed, you have the option of changing the default value for the endpoint systray icon from show to hide by modifying the systray_icon.txt file, included in the Infoblox Endpoint installation package. You can also hide the icon after the Endpoint installation. It is not possible to change the visibility of the endpoint icon in the systray from within the Infoblox Portal.

Hiding the Systray Icon at the Time of Infoblox Endpoint Installation

To hide the Infoblox Endpoint systray icon when installing endpoint, complete the following:   

  1. From the Infoblox Portal, click ConfigureAdministration > Downloads.
  2. On the Downloads page, select the installer type and click the respective link to download the Endpoint ZIP archive for each platform your business requires.
  3. After you download the ZIP file, open the ZIP file and locate the systray_icon.txt file.
  4. Open the systray_icon.txt file in your preferred text editor and change the default value of show to hide. By changing the value to hide, the Infoblox Endpoint icon will not be displayed in the systray. 
  5. Save your changes to the systray_icon.txt file.
  6. Close the ZIP file. 
  7. Continue with the installation of Endpoint, as described in Installing Endpoint

Changing Infoblox Systray Icon State after Endpoint Installation 

To change the systray icon state after Infoblox Endpoint has been installed, complete the following:

  1. Navigate to your Infoblox Endpoint folder on the system in which Infoblox Endpoint is installed.
  2. Click on the InfobloxEndpoint folder icon to reveal the contents of the folder.
  3. For macOS, go to the /Applications/Infoblox/BloxOne Endpoint.app/Contents/MacOS/ folder.
    For Windows, go to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Infoblox\BloxOne Endpoint\ folder.
  4. Locate the infoblox_rc_icon_visibility_toggler file in the folder. The infoblox_rc_icon_visibility_toggler file is an executable file that you can run by clicking the file directly. 
  5. Double click the infoblox_rc_icon_visibility_toggler file to change the view state for the endpoint systray icon. For example, if the current view state for the endpoint systray icon is set to hide, double-clicking the infoblox_rc_icon_visibility_toggler executable file will change the endpoint view state to show. Alternatively, if the endpoint systray icon is set to show, then double-clicking the infoblox_rc_icon_visibility_toggler executable file will change the endpoint view state to hide.
    Note that this process may take 20 to 30 seconds to complete.
