CA Spectrum_GIS View
CA Spectrum integrates GIS (Geographic Information System) Map to visualize the key and core devices of your network on a GIS Map, with their real time status. Multiple mechanisms are provided to input the devices that you intend to see on the Map.
The GIS (Geographical Information System) View displays device models geographically on the Google maps. You can view the model name and model handle details of a device when mouse over on that device in this view. When you click the device in this view, it displays the device details in OneClick. The condition of the device model is also highlighted. For example, a device model with critical condition is displayed in red color. By default, the map focuses on the USA.
Note: The GIS View feature does not work if you integrate CA Spectrum with CA SiteMinder SSO.
You can configure the default location by entering your favorite location in gisGC.config file. The source of input for GIS View is Global Collection (GC) or list of IP addresses. The default primary source is GC. You can configure the default source to IP address list by modifying the ‘UseGisGCconfig=no’ in gisGC.config file.
Enter the IP addresses for which you want CA Spectrum to display GIS view in the following files:
For GC: $SPECROOT/tomcat/webapps/spectrum/console/gisGC.config
Important! We recommend using unique name for GC
For IP addresses list: $SPECROOT/tomcat/webapps/spectrum/console/gisIPAddressList.txt
Notes:
The free version of Google’s APIs allows you to view limited number of devices (as per Google API policy) in GIS View. If you have an enterprise license key, then you can update the following property file to view more devices in GIS View.
We recommend to configure hundred or less devices for GIS View.
