It ends up on the canary islands, which is where we put devices we can't find a location for.

Ok this is interesting!

I figured out where I end up.... just off the coast off West Africa..... The closest places being Luanda and Congo?

However, the actual Green Location Tag is showing in the North Atlantic just west of Portugal.

It might be something to do with the String Interpreter?? Or perhaps something needs to be adjusted in the code??

I even tried adding the country but no go :-(

Ours is also locked at a random spot in the sea, but when I zoom out, I can see land.

Perhaps your google maps part is broken? Maybe these are different issues?

I enter the street address that I would use in google maps in the location on the SNMP settings for the devices, but this does not show the devices in the locations on Observium dashboard :/

Does anyone have an example syntax for a device they have working correctly?

Thanks.

Actually just tried on Google Maps directly and it finds the address fine.....

My address syntax:

building no. street name, city, zip/postcode

I have this problem too....

It was working perfectly before the upgrade to the version of Observium OpenSource released this year.

In fact my map just shows a blue screen now..... zooming out doesn't show land at all?

Thanks Markus,

Could you give me an example location that would work in the correct notation. This way I can follow that as a template for all our devices.

Thanks

Its done by looking in the SNMP sysLocation field of your device. If you enter a valid address on your device then Observium will map it properly. Any string that Google Maps can translate to a location will usually work :)

Hi Guys,

On the main dashboard you see a google maps picture.

None of my devices are displayed correctly on the map.

How do I specify which devices appear where? I assume it’s to do with the Contact field.

Thanks guys.
