    Geomap solution for visualizing IoT devices' online status

    Hey,

    I have thousands of let's say IoT devices (domestically, not internationally). They can have an online status of ok, partial failure or offline. I want to map them on Geomap, so that one can see with one look if there are "general connectivity" issues in some area. For example, mobile operator servicing their towers in an area causing partial failures on devices using their SIMs. The device status comes from external DB, there are no Zabbix agents installed on devices.

    Zabbix Geomap is not useful for this case.
    1. I am not interested in these hosts' alerts, I only care about their online status represented by colour
    2. Host status (colour) on the map is based on alert level and creating those would drown "actual alerts" (I may be wrong and there might be a way around this)
    3. There may be hundreds of devices in a city area, so "colored dots" would be more useful than normal pins Zabbix uses
    4. Zooming in-and-out should be fast
    5. Very nice bonus: timeline visualization and/or animation for given time period (think of doomsday movies with animations of visualizing how killer virus spreads from origin point to whole world :-) )
    My AI friend suggested Grafana as the best(?) option for visualizing that. Has anyone done something similar using Grafana or some other platform? Ideas? Experiences?

    Thanks,

    Mika
