Automatic Geolocation in SAM

brent.weaver

Good morning. I would like to add this feature but what field in SAM do I populate to get this feature to work?

You enable it in the Settings> Web Console Settings, near the bottom

I always thought this was an NPM feature though, I don't have a SAM server that doesn't also have NPM though so I can't confirm that.

But the question is where does it get the location to populate the map? We are using WMI and SNMP to monitor nodes. Does this get populated from the Location snmp attribute or some other place?

It takes the SNMP location value and sends that to the mapping API. I think in the case of WMI machines they get their location from an AD field but I don't recall what it is called because it isn't Location like you would expect.
