Display infrastructure map

In Infrastructure view, under the default configuration, if the Abiquo Server has an Internet connection, the platform can display an infrastructure map using Google Maps. To set the default coordinates, see Configure map defaults. To configure Google Maps in the platform, see How to Obtain and Install a Google Maps API Key

Privilege: Access Infrastructure view, View datacenter details, Manage infrastructure elements

To display the infrastructure map:

Go to Infrastructure → Private or Public
For private cloud, select All or a datacenter
If necessary, click on the pin map symbol at the top of the Datacenters list
Click here to show/hide the screenshot

To move around the map:

Zoom in and out using the zoom slider or + and - controls on the top left-hand side of the screen or the mouse.
Move or pan across the map using the arrow controls or the mouse, for example, clicking and dragging to the area of the map that interests you.
Select from Map with optional terrain or Satellite images with optional labels.
It is possible to use Google street view.

When you create datacenters, enter map locations and Abiquo will plot them on the map.

To display a bubble with the name and location, move the mouse over a datacenter pin on the map.
To center the map on a location, click on a name in the locations list.

If your datacenters do not display as pins on the map, see How to Obtain and Install a Google Maps API Key for information about using Google Maps in Abiquo.
