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."
Note You need to select the Checkbox "Add to monitoring configuration" to make both attributes available for NagVis.
.
- Start adding the information to your hosts; you need at least one with coordinates configured.
- Navigate to NagVis and create a new map of the type 'Geographical map (non-interactive).'
- Go to Edit Map → Map Options
- On the rider 'Geomap,' change the source type to 'NagVis Backend' and save the settings.
