PRTG 9 Manual: Geo Maps
For each probe, group, or device, you can enter Location information. PRTG will use the first line of this information to query a Google Map which shows your objects on a geographical map. After entering your personal Google Maps API Key (you can sign up for free) you can start using geo maps right away by adding location information to your devices, e.g. in the Root group for a start.
Example of Geo Maps in PRTG Ajax Web Interface
In order to use geographical maps within the PRTG web interface or Enterprise Console, please make sure the following:
- Apply for a Google Maps API key on the Google Code website. This will only take a few minutes. For detailed information, please see More section below.
- In the system administration (within the web interface), select the maps type you want to view. There, you will also find an option to disable Google Maps integration if you do not want to use it. Paste your API key there. See section System Administration—System and Website (setting Geo Maps) for detailed information.
- In your objects' settings, add a city name or address in the first line of the Location field. As soon as you view the details of such an object, a geographical map will be shown. The Location information will also be used when viewing objects in the Enterprise Console or when adding Geo Maps objects to PRTG Maps.
On the Google Map the different location flags will show the overall status at this location.
