    Export GPS location data or make it useful

    I have a bunch of location data in Zabbix which is populating the Host Inventory fields. But to me this isn't really very useful. I'd love to see this data real time on a map (like Google Maps or Open Street Maps). I can manually copy the coordinates to Google Maps, but obviously this isn't very practical. Having a visual tracking history of the location of a device would be even better (something like a track showing a device's location history throughout the day).

    I did try some GoogleFu to look for ways to do this, but every solution seemed very outdated. I'm wondering if others have found a (hopefully not to complex) way to make this data more "useful". Like do you export it onto another application that can show GPS coordinates on a map or record location history?

    The best option for me would be to be able to push the data into Home Assistant so I can trigger events based on location. This would require Zabbix to be able to send the data to a MQTT broker I guess... But I'm curious as to whether others are using the location data in a "useful" way.

    Thanks in advance for any responses / advice.

    Zabbix 6.0 has a feature called Geomap. If the latitude and longitude are recorded in the host inventory, it is possible to display the position on the map.

      Hello.

      Is there a way to use Address type location and convert it to long & lat?

        Geocoding converts addresses into geographic coordinates to be placed on a map. Reverse Geocoding finds an address based on geographic coordinates or Place IDs.

          To visualize and track location data from Zabbix in real-time on a map with a device's location history, consider using a solution like Grafana with the WorldMap Panel plugin, which can integrate with Zabbix and display GPS coordinates on a map, allowing you to create visual tracking histories of device locations.
