Thoughts on "locations" front-page module
![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/eedcea4d4a01ec6af3ec19e510621d23.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
In our setup the ‘map’ frontage module is pretty and impresses exec level types, however the space is mostly wasted as far as an engineer is concerned, requiring multiple clicks to drill in to areas of interest.
I’d like to have the location table as seen at http://observium/locations http://observium/locations on my home page instead. Is this an option that can be implemented simply enough?
Does anyone else think that this is a good idea?
Thanks for looking!

Probably easy enough.
The map is likely to be replaced with something lighter weight soon, and the whole front page is gash and a hit of a hack tbh.
How many locations do you have?

Currently I have 100 devices spread over 10 locations around Australia. I have 5 cities with a single location and a few devices each, and then then 70% or so of the devices spread across five suburbs within the last city.
Oh wait… what do they say about a picture and 1000 words?

I had toyed with the idea of setting the home page to /locations/ however the status_summary, device_status and eventlog are nice things to have on the front page.
Thanks
