Have you tried different location API's? I'm currently using Mapquest with good results, and we have a lot of locations in remote and rural areas. Just need to set this:

$config['geocoding']['api'] = 'mapquest'; 

Outside of that, if you go into your device settings, what does the geolocation tab say? For what it's worth, using my current config, I overrode the syslocation using the checkbox and put in Berlin, DE, and it maps just fine.

I have the same problem. The device appears for a few minutes in the correct location and then returns to the island in the middle of the Atlantic ocean.

 

Thanks,

Subject: [Observium] Configuring map interface on new observium installation

 

Hi,

 

I have just installed & configured observium for the first time. The first two devices are added and seems working, but I'm having problem displaying these devices on the map. All the time there is a blue sign on the middle on Atlantic ocean, it doesn't matter what I configure as device location.

 

Please any idea how to configure the map?

I have tried all the possible configurations at /opt/observium/config.php settings but with no success.

This installation is behind a proxy server, but I have allowed all the traffic from observium host and I don't see any traffic from this host towards proxy server.

 

I did the following configuration on monitored devices for SNMP settings as follow:

 

R_TR#sh run | s snmp
snmp-server community aaaaaaa RO
snmp-server ifindex persist
snmp-server location Berlin, DE
snmp-server contact bbbbbbbbbb

 

at Observium main page, at location tab, is listed Berlin, DE (or Rome, IT another device) but no indication on the map for both devices.

 

regarding proxy server configuration, at \opt\observium\config.php file I have the following settings:

//configure proxy server settings
$config['http proxy'] = "myproxy:8080";

with no username and password, because I have allowed all the traffic from observium host and it has internet access, because I did manually update and it worked normally.

 

Please could you send me a sample of a working map configuration?

 

I have the following configuration regarding geolocation at config.php file:

 


// $config['frontpage']['map']['region'] = "https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gall$
$config['geocoding']['enable'] =TRUE;                                                                
$config['geocoding']['dns'] = FALSE;                                                                 
$config['location_menu_geocoded'] = FALSE;                                                           
$config['geocoding']['api'] = 'www.googleapis.com/geolocation/v1/geolocate?key=aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa';

 

I even tried with just 'google' as API, but it doesn't change anything.

 

thanks in advance,

Andi Qirjazi
