PRTG 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 geographical map which shows your objects. After activating geo maps you can start right away by adding location information to your devices, e.g. in the Root group.

In order to use geographical maps within the PRTG web interface or Enterprise Console, please make sure the following:

  1. In the system administration (within the web interface), select the maps provider and type you want to view. There, you will also find an option to disable geo maps integration if you do not want to use it. See section System Administration—System and Website (setting Geo Maps) for detailed information.
  2. 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.
     
  3. Make sure your PRTG core server has access to the internet in order to obtain map tiles. If a proxy is mandatory in your network, please configure proxy settings accordingly. For details, please see System Administration—System and Website. For details about tile server domains, please see More section below.
