FEATURE REQUEST - Network Atlas Migration Tool

jvoss over 3 years ago

Per the 2020.2 release notes, Network atlas is starting it's decomm process.

I'm sure we're not the only customer that uses network atlas maps, we have several hunders -- if not thousands of components/applications displayed on various maps. We're looking for a migration tool to automatically import these maps into the new Orion Maps

Network Atlas

Network Atlas is deprecated as of this release and will be removed in a future release. SolarWinds recommends that you start using Orion Maps in the Orion Web Console to display maps of physical and logical relationships between entities monitored by the Orion Platform products you have installed.

We use the Network Atlas maps to overlay a weather radar map as the background and plot our locations (as groups) on the map. From the documentation I've seen of Orion Maps, this is can't be done. This map is on our main Operations page and is very important for Ops and management.

We have this image as a dynamic background: https://s.w-x.co/staticmaps/wu/wu/wxtype1200_cur/conus/current.png
We then created dynamic groups pulling in nodes from those locations and then plotted them by hand on the Atlas map. It took a while, but it was the easiest way we could find without modifying the Orion website years ago.

bharris1 This is one of those items we are aware of and it unfortunately just didn't make it in the 2020.2 release. However most customers I speak with would correlate this more closely to the World-Wide Map use case and would prefer to include this with the automatic geo-location rather than a manual map. Both are items we would like to improve on or include in a future release.

I would hope Network Atlas continues to work until there is a way to do weather maps a different way.
