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
This solutions works only on a per site basis. Meaning if the hosts you want to show in NagVis are located at several sites, you need several maps with the appropriate backends.
Follow these steps to enable automatic placement of hosts based on their geo location:
Copy the treasure file within your site:
cp ~/share/doc/check_mk/treasures/wato_geo_fields.py ~/local/share/check_mk/web/plugins/wato
- 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
- Enjoy the view
