GeoMap Use Case

Description

We use an additional pc & monitor to present the GeoMap in our office. eg. Screenshot.
The GeoMap is a really great map. It it useful to give a fast overview of your locations, to impress your bosses (Wow! What is this?? ) and to promote OpenNMS.
But there are some annoying behaviors. I think, the actual state isn't optimal and should be reviewed.

Some thoughts:

  • GeoMap system has always to be online (because

  • no function to start the GeoMap automatically/solo

  • OpenNMS login required

  • no function to set a filter per default (eg. "category:GeoMap")

  • push down the alarm window (which isn't useful in this szenario, because the font is too small; and we only need the green/red buttons..)

  • the choice to show outages or alarms on the map

  • The GeoMap triggers a resolution of nodes with geolocation information but no longitude/latitude on a regular basis for each user and overwrites the asset fields.

Sure, there are some "solutions":

  • autologin this pc

  • autostart the browser

  • set browser startpage to Geomap

  • maybe use a browser addon to autologin the OpenNMS user

How do you use this map or do you have some solutions/ideas?
