GPSmaps

The location where I was storing the APIv3 version had massive hard drive failure. (I had a RAID 10 and 2 drives failed on the same day). Between the drive failure and my lack of need/use for Cacti, I no longer have a reason to continue development.

Maxime from WixiWeb politely emailed me about providing future updates and I agreed provided they make the source code available to all. WixiWeb, a French Internet Service Provider will now be taking over operational control of the GPS Maps plugin source code.

I am happy to see that my plugin is so widely used across so many platforms of business. From what started as a simple need, turned into a neat project that lasted several years. Good luck to future users of GPS Maps. Should anyone contact me in the future I will do my best to answer their questions.

New versions compatible with Google API V3 can be downloaded from the Git-hub accout for WixiWeb. https://github.com/wixiweb

This plugin provides an integration of Google maps with cacti in order to visually map out hosts using previously recorded Latitude and Longitude coordinates. Tracking of IP ranges and addresses and displaying them on the map. Information about each point is displayed when clicked on, with a direct link to the hosts graphs. Additionally there is a function that will allow for overlay mapping of subnets to get a coverage map.

Subnet Analysis - This feature allows the user to traverse the hosts and display only those within certain subnet ranges.

Device Grouping - Group devices together to have specific coverage overlays.

Coverage overlay - Creates a coverage overlay to the furthest available host in the same group. Also set the degree of angle of the overlay.

GPS Coordinate plotting per host.

Host information displayed when point is clicked.

Quick link to a hosts graphs when point is clicked.

Specify certain types of marker images for device types.

PIA 2.X installed and functioning properly

1. Installs just like any other plugin that uses the PIA 2.X.
2. Make sure that the XML folder has write access.

Options: Located in the under GPS Map of the configuration → Settings area.

The bare minimum amount of settings that must be set are:

• API key
• Initial Latitude
• Initial Longitude
• Within the individual host properties, settings for latitude and longitude.

• Devices with actual hostnames will not be displayed on the map if it cannot be resolved to a IP address.
• When in Subnet Analysis, going to the very end displays all IP addresses for that IP range. This can take up ALOT of room on screen if user has lots of hosts in that subnet.

Future updates will be posted on the WixiWeb GitHub page. https://github.com/wixiweb/cacti-gpsmaps
