Hello
We are constantly running into issues with the geolocation service and the automated detection of the coordinates – people tend to set additional information in the sysLocation which finally cause the geo api’s to fail. I would like to suggest a small format / code change here to make the geo location detection more usable and reliable. SysLocation should be set up in the form:
<Business Name / Rack Location> Street No., ZIP Code City, Country
The <Business Name / Rack Location> is still stored in observium but ignored when querying the api.
