Setting up the points

[sam-chapp]

I have added the api key and link and have put the longitude and latitude of our location we want but its not showing has anyone got any setup guides or tutorials?

You must make sure to add the device template that you wish to appear on the map to Templates -> Map

I have done that however it still doesnt show what would the Group ID be?

There isn't much to this plugin.

1. make sure you have lng/lat on your device
2. make sure the device template is in the table of desired templates for the map
3. make sure the poller has been running and generated the maps.

That last one has proven tricky as at the moment you don't get stats in the cacti log for this plugin. However, you should get output in the XML/ directory. If you want to make sure the poller is running, remove it all and it should recreate it.

Im not too sure about this: "make sure the poller has been running and generated the maps." XML ?? Do you have any screenshots?

[netniV]

Do you have any data in your XML folder?

[netniV]

If not, make sure the website has write permissions to that folder (if you have SELinux enabled, you will likely have to make sure the correct context has been set to).

[sam-chapp]

I see the XML folder there is just an index.php file

[sam-chapp]

Is it the file inside ""/usr/share/cacti/plugins/gpsmap/"" ?

[netniV]

OK, that would suggest that either you haven't enabled the maps plugin fully, or it doesn't have write access to the XML folder when running as the poller user. (normally run from /etc/cron.d/cacti)

I have made the folder 777 perm and have set the cacti to 777 in cron.d

[netniV]

Yeah, you didn't need to do that from cron.d's cacti file. It reads it as a configuration file, not to run as a script.

So if your permissions are there and cacti is polling, do you have SELinux enabled?

I believe we just have a basic centos 6 server

You might have to help yourself on this one. I'm not using it as the API and key requirements drive me nuts. If you figure things out, submit a pull request.
