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

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, Gordon

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.

Hi Derek,

Thanks for the reply, so you are suggesting that instead of configuring location at Device's SNMP settings to configure at Observium location page? I tried 'mapquest' as well, but it's the same situation, the island in the ocean. It's just 'mapquest' or a full qualified name?

thanks in advance, Andi

It needs to be fairly strict, elsewise we have locations in the middle of Africa or the Indian Ocean.

I have entries like this in config.php to aaccomodate the older snmpLocation settings. $config['location_map']['Data Centre 2'] = "DC2, City, Canberra, AU";

where i have control of the servers, i put in a city address with a ,AU in the snmpLocation where i have no control (eg: routers), i override the snmp setting in Observium.

thanks

Hi Andi,

I apologise if I don't understand exactly what's wrong.

1. What device is this? Can you set the syslocation in the device. If you can, then please use this format - "English Street Address. [lat, long]". Let's see if that works? 2. OR, in Observium, click on the device to open up the monitoring page, click the gear in the top right corner (device settings), click gelocation, and override the defualt address with the Latitude and Longitude values.

You can find the Lat/Long values form google maps quite quickly.

Rudolf

Hi Rudolf,

Yes, I'm still having problems. The Map shows only the green button in Atlantic ocean. I have the following sysLocation at config file for each device:

$config['location_map']['Device1']="HQ, Berlin, DE"; $config['location_map']['Device2']="HQ, Rome, IT";

Please, correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi,

The location_map maps locations from one to the other, it's not meant for specific devices, unless you have Device1 as location set for some devices...

If you want to override a single device's location, go to the device properties and set it there.

The location_map maps the string retrieved from the sysLocation value of your devices and maps it to a location that can be geolocated via Google or Mapquest.

This is useful if you have special location names which cannot be geolocated, or your device doesn’t support strings long enough to enter in the full address. It doesn’t map the device name to a location which it looks like what you are trying to do. Try configuring the devices’ SNMP sysLocation with the string you have and it should work.

The location_map maps the string retrieved from the sysLocation value of your devices and maps it to a location that can be geolocated via Google or Mapquest.

Hi,

Sorry, this I didn't get it. Should be same location_map for both devices?

Thanks, Andi

Hi,

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.

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

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

New subject: Configuring map interface on new observium installation

Hi,

Sorry for my late reply, but summer time :) and should work with project as well. So, unfortunately same situation. what I did: I found longitude & latitude from google map and configure SNMP-SERVER Location at Cisco router as follow: "street name. [long, lat]" I tried both configurations for API, google & MapQuest, but again same problem, green button at Atlantic Ocean. at Device\location is shown the location that I have configured at Snmp location, but no sign at the Observium's map.

Please could show me a sample of a working config file and snmp location, because is getting really frustrated this situation.. :)

thanks in advance, Andi

The location_map maps the string retrieved from the sysLocation value of your devices and maps it to a location that can be geolocated via Google or Mapquest.

This is useful if you have special location names which cannot be geolocated, or your device doesn’t support strings long enough to enter in the full address. It doesn’t map the device name to a location which it looks like what you are trying to do. Try configuring the devices’ SNMP sysLocation with the string you have and it should work.

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:

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?

New subject: Configuring map interface on new observium installation

Hi!

Here it is an example that works for me:

I set "Qualitis Office" as an SNMP location string on my server and $config['location_map']['Qualitis Office'] = "1131 Budapest, Béke utca 116 [47.541773,19.085868]"; in my observium config.

But it works also if I write only the coordinates to the SNMP location string like "[47.541773,19.085868]".

Oh and one small thing: it's written in Latitude, Longitude order not the other way around as you wrote. :)

Btw we are using the mapquest geocoding api: $config['geocoding']['api'] = 'mapquest';

A workaround for the "green button in the Atlantic Ocean" problem is to set the default location of geocoding. This way at least those misbehaving hosts won't be thousands of kilometers/miles away from the other ones.

$config['geocoding']['default']['lat'] = "47.498372"; // Default latitude $config['geocoding']['default']['lon'] = "19.040554"; // Default longitude This is Budapest, but you can set any coordinate you whish.

And you should do a manual poll each time you change the server location string, otherwise it won't get updated for a few minutes.

One last thought. Check whether you are not using any accented characters (Unicode and like) only ASCII chars in your location string. I had all kind of funny results when I used Hungarian street names with accented characters in the SNMP location string.

New subject: Configuring map interface on new observium installation

Hi Tylla,

thanks for the explanation, but again the button doesn't want to move from Atlantic Ocean... :) I did the following configuration

1. At Cisco device: snmp-server location "TB HQ Office" 2. At config.php the following configuration: $config['location_map']['TB HQ Office']="Rruga Ibrahim Rugova, 1001, Tirana, [41.316667, 19.819135]"; and as Geocoding API I'm using "mapquest", but again no change on the map.

I added as default Lat & Long Tirana's Coordinates, as you suggested, but again no change on the button. :)

$config['geocoding']['default']['lat'] = "41.316667"; // Default latitude $config['geocoding']['default']['lon'] = "19.819135"; // Default longitude

at Observium web page, there is the following event log :

Recent Eventlog Entries Date Device Entity Message 2015-07-30 16:40:02 r_tr System Location -> Rruga Ibrahim Rugova, 1001, Tirana, [41.316667, 19.819135] 2015-07-30 16:35:08 r_tr System Location -> TB HQ Office

So, Observium has recognized as address or location, but is not reflected to the map...

So, I'm missing something , but what is it....:)

and something else, should observium connect to the internet for using the map? I'm check at firewall, but no traffic from Observium is generated. I have configured proxy settings at config.php file, but no traffic at all.

thanks in advance, Andi

Hi Andi,

I’ve found that Observium does look up Internet™ for map co-ordinates, I haven’t required to use Long/Lat. yet. I’m using “Armidale, NSW, Australia” in my overridden location text box and “UNE, Armidale, NSW, Australia”.

If you can search for the location by street address in Google Maps, you Should™ be able to find it inside Observium.

Have a fantastic day,

I set "Qualitis Office" as an SNMP location string on my server and $config['location_map']['Qualitis Office'] = "1131 Budapest, Béke utca 116 [47.541773,19.085868]"; in my observium config.

But it works also if I write only the coordinates to the SNMP location string like "[47.541773,19.085868]".

Oh and one small thing: it's written in Latitude, Longitude order not the other way around as you wrote. :)

Btw we are using the mapquest geocoding api: $config['geocoding']['api'] = 'mapquest';

And you should do a manual poll each time you change the server location string, otherwise it won't get updated for a few minutes.

Please could show me a sample of a working config file and snmp location, because is getting really frustrated this situation.. :)

thanks in advance, Andi

The location_map maps the string retrieved from the sysLocation value of your devices and maps it to a location that can be geolocated via Google or Mapquest.

Hi,

Sorry, this I didn't get it. Should be same location_map for both devices?

Thanks, Andi

The location_map maps locations from one to the other, it's not meant for specific devices, unless you have Device1 as location set for some devices...

If you want to override a single device's location, go to the device properties and set it there.

Yes, I'm still having problems. The Map shows only the green button in Atlantic ocean. I have the following sysLocation at config file for each device:

$config['location_map']['Device1']="HQ, Berlin, DE"; $config['location_map']['Device2']="HQ, Rome, IT";

Please, correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks, Andi

Are you still having the problem? What is the sysLocation string that you use?

Hi,

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.

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=aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahttp://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

Hi Andi!

See my answers between the lines.

Hi Tylla,

thanks for the explanation, but again the button doesn't want to move from Atlantic Ocean... :)

OK, but the map works, no? So if you zoom out you see the map of the world? Just asking because of your last question below... :)

...

I did the following configuration

At Cisco device: snmp-server location "TB HQ Office"

At config.php the following configuration:

$config['location_map']['TB HQ Office']="Rruga Ibrahim Rugova, 1001, Tirana, [41.316667, 19.819135]"; and as Geocoding API I'm using "mapquest", but again no change on the map.

I did check the address you entered in your location override, and MapQuest can't find the location. Nevertheless Google maps found the location. And the coordinates included in the location in square brackets should definitely pinpoint the location.

...

I added as default Lat & Long Tirana's Coordinates, as you suggested, but again no change on the button. :)

$config['geocoding']['default']['lat'] = "41.316667"; // Default latitude $config['geocoding']['default']['lon'] = "19.819135"; // Default longitude

at Observium web page, there is the following event log :

Recent Eventlog Entries Date Device Entity Message 2015-07-30 16:40:02 r_tr System Location -> Rruga Ibrahim Rugova, 1001, Tirana, [41.316667, 19.819135] 2015-07-30 16:35:08 r_tr System Location -> TB HQ Office

So, Observium has recognized as address or location, but is not reflected to the map...

So, I'm missing something , but what is it....:)

I made a small experiment, and the settings for the default lat/lon gets used immediately (no poll, no discover needed). So if you're changing the default location and after updating the Observium page the point of your server doesn't move along, then something really strange is going on. I think you should check your browsers Javascript console for errors, and maybe your server php log too. Maybe you should check a different browser on a different machine.

...

and something else, should observium connect to the internet for using the map? I'm check at firewall, but no traffic from Observium is generated. I have configured proxy settings at config.php file, but no traffic at all.

The traffic should come from the machine that you are using the browser on to look at the Observium web page, not from the Observium running/data collecting machine itself.

Btw: I was wrong with my assumption that those machines without location are put on the location 0,0 as that would be somewhere south of Ghana in the Atlantic Ocean, but in reality those machines are put to Ponta Delgada (in the Atlantic Ocean too, but west of Portugal).

Good luck finding out the problem. Tylla
