Are you talking avout the Network Map or the Google Map porlet for the Dashboard? They are entirely different.
In my opinion, they are both pretty useless. They use layer 3 data from the routing tables to determine relationships between devices. For me, a network spanning multiple core routers and hundreds of VLANS, the network map just looks like garbage. Plus Zenoss is not yet very good at pulling routing tables out of BGP routers. To use the google map, you have to get a google map api key and install it in settings. Then just specify an address for each of your locations, and the map should populate. To use the Network Map, you have to type a device name or network name into the field, whatever you want to be the "center" of your network. Generally this would a core router... There has been a lot of discussion about incorporating layer 2 relationships in Zenoss, which would be enormously useful (at least for me). Then you could have maps which would look something like phpweathermap, showing layer 2 relationships and bandwidth over each link, etc. -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=21022#21022 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
