World map live for grafana

[carlosmagalhaes]

Hi all,

I have seen before and obviously online and movies a world map but showing active connections (usually used for cyber attack Dashboards) you can see the active connections pinging across the globe. I have a static world map which is default in Grafana.

Is there any community or commercial plugin one can buy that does this? If so would appreciate the pointer.

Dear Carlos,

thanks for bringing this up. We are well looking into this direction for the Worldmap fork [1]. As far as we can see, fitting this with the upcoming support for streaming data into Grafana [2] and the new data shuffling architecture based on the DataFrame data model [3] would be a good idea.

While I can’t promise any timeframe, I am looking forward to any discussions about this topic and will be happy about any support revolving this.

With kind regards,
Andreas.

P.S.: We just created an issue for tracking this [4].

Thank you for the reply, more than happy to test anything once you ready. Just let me know.
I use to use Kibana and there was once a really nice plug in (no longer supported due to version changed) here is a link to the github might help - https://github.com/nbs-system/mapster

Hi again,

we recently found Leaflet Realtime by Per Liedman, which could bring us closer to this shared goal.

@Per Liedman

By default, Leaflet Realtime reads and displays GeoJSON from a provided source. A “source” is usually a URL, and data can be fetched using AJAX (XHR), JSONP. This means Leaflet Realtime will poll for data, pulling it from the source. Alternatively, you can write your own source, to provide data in just about any way you want. Leaflet Realtime can also be made work with push data, for example data pushed from the server using socket.io or similar.

With kind regards,
Andreas.

That looks promising! Is there currently a way to display GeoJSON data on the Grafana World Map Panel? Thanks!

Hi Christopher,

@christopher4

Is there currently a way to display GeoJSON data on the Grafana World Map Panel?

Not that I am aware of. We track two proposals where GeoJSON is referenced at [1,2], the original issue is [3]. However, @samhatchett has developed GitHub - CitiLogics/citilogics-geoloop-panel: Animated Maps in Grafana, see [4].

With kind regards,
Andreas.

That’s really helpful! Thank you, @amotl! What are your thoughts on Kepler.gl?

I still haven’t found any way to display custom geojson. Tried uploading it in the public directory but doesn’t work. Did you get any way to upload static geojson ?
