Viewing a resource on a map
You can view a resource on a map, which gives you access to geospatial analysis functionality.
Before you begin
- To geo-locate resources and view them on a map, your administrator must have defined a location tile server.
- Also, resources with geolocation properties must exist in your topology database. Some observers import resource data with such properties, or you can add them via file enrichment rule.
Tip: The geolocation data for a resource from a source like an
observer should be in the following format (with the longitude before the
latitude):
{
"uniqueId": "Example site with co-ordinates",
"entityTypes": [
"site"
],
"geolocation": {
"geometry": {
"coordinates": [
24.80792
-1.05194,
],
"type": "Point"
}
}
}
In this example 24.80792
is the longitude and
-1.05194
the latitude.About this task
Restriction: A resource map is available only for individual resources, not for resource
groups or services (applications).
Tip: You can access a reduced map with limited functionality (the details 'tearsheet')
from the More details 'Location' tab, which is also accessed when you click the
location pin. To view the full resource map, click the map link next to the resource name.
