How to find out on wich map (maps) is node located ?
We have a network with more than 8000 nodes, 42000 interfaces, there are more than 430 different maps in the system. It is literally impossible to open a network map to which a particular element is placed.
I have my own solution wich I will describe later. But it is unofficial and hard to maintain and final result is not 100%. My solution becomes more and more complicated with every new version of NPM. On 9.5 version it was simple with Map Maker , with 12.1 and Network Atlas it becomes to be nightmare.
Is there anybody who have the same problem, please ? Or how do you work with NPM without this function with such big amount of nodes and maps ?
I found only one simmilar request from KMNRuser (How to tell what map(s) a node is on - 1.11.2016) on Thwack. With no replays, with no solution.
I can't belive that only two network admins have this need , How the others take network topology overview when they are not abble to easily open network map with faulty node ?
So please, I would like to read experience of other users with localization of node on map.
I do not want to burden your mind with my description of the solution, I would like to see if and how others solve this problem.
I will describe my solution next Monday, I promise.
I can tell you, I asked for solutions at SolarWinds 5 to 6 years ago first time (and many times later). The solution has never been proposed to me.
Now I'm close to ending the use of NPM just for this (my guys - network admins and NOC operators do not want use NPM just because they cannot easily open map with node they want to see in topology layout)
World Map function is not usefull for this - geological topology is different than Network topology, they are not comparable (and because of more other limitations).
Thank you for all your suggestions
