Problem
You want to have geographical information in Checkmk, and based on that information, you want to have NagVis geomaps that automatically get populated with this information.
Solution
| Warning |
|---|
This solution works only on a per-site basis. If the hosts you want to show in NagVis are located at several sites, you need maps with the appropriate backends. |
...
Follow these steps to enable the automatic placement of hosts based on their geolocation:
- Create two custom host attributes like described here: Custom attributesHow-to configure custom notification attributes#CustomHostattributes
one attribute will be named "lat" and the other one "long."
