Zabbix Geomap Setup

Zabbix uses the open source leafleat geomap setup which is not that much accurate and does not provide proper insights over the geomap so we will be using google geomaps to gain more graphical maps based insights over the zabbix dashboard.

To setup we will have to navigate to the following path on the zabbix dashboard :

Administration > General > Geographical Maps section on the zabbix dashboard & then perform the following changes :

We will need to enter the folowing details :

Title Provider = Other
Title URL = http://mt0.google.com/vt/lyrs=m&hl=en&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}
Attribution Text = Map data ©2024 Google

This is done by the lyrs (layers) parameter, which has the following options:

h (roads only)
m (standard roadmap)
p (terrain)
r (altered standard roadmap)
s (satellite only)
t (terrain only)
y (hybrid)

This will enable google maps on the zabbix dahboard based on the 2024 based data. We can make custom dashboard widgets using the google maps which we will cover in the upcoming sections.
