Filter devices shown on a Geomap

Votes:

0

Hi,

Is there a way to filter the devices shown on the google geomap? As I have a high number of devices I would like to see only the ones with the status "down" or "warning" on the geomap.

In the <#selectionlist content="locationlist" width="640" height="640" maxlegenditems="50"> is there any additional parameters I can use eg.: filter_status="5"?

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply and for your hint as well. Unfortunately I've tried, and the maps side-by-side is not a really good solution in our case. It would be really nice if you could include this feature on the road map for PRTG. It shouldn't be a big deal to implement this filter function on locationlist, and I would say a couple of us would be happy with such feature! Thanks!

Using groups is currently the way to structure your device/sensor tree in order to have less items on a map.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick answer. I'm definitely using groups to structure the devices. It's working well in the daily operations. Besides we had to create a custom dashboard which is showing only the alerts and the log. (and which is projected in the NOC) I have also integrated geomaps to this dashboard, however it can only show max. 50 items on the map, and we have 200+ in different locations. It would be really useful to see only the failed devices on the geomap.

I know it's officially not supported, however I would really appreciate if you can share me any workaround to make it work.

Thanks!

Currently there is no way of only showing red icons on maps, sorry. Please consider using several maps side-by-side which only include 50 items max.

Is filtering of geomap views possible yet? Similar to the other customers I'm looking for the map to show nothing except down sensors. Thanks, Andy.

Filtering in geo maps can be done if you are not using Google Static Maps.

You have to add following css code to <PRTG>\webroot\css\styles_custom.css file. This will hide all markers except errors (.map-marker.down) and warnings (.map-marker.warn)

.map-marker.up, .map-marker.paused, .map-marker.unknown, .map-marker.unusual, .map-marker.undefined, .map-marker.none{ display: none; }

You can also dim the markers by substituting display:none; with opacity: 0.5; and if you want to change the markers size and appearance see here.
