saved Map view and discover of new devices

[Tom]

Hi,

today I've scanned our whole network for a last test with netxms. Simply to see how it works with a large amount of devices and networks.

Well, there are no problems since the scan. Everything looks fine - everything but the map.
I started to drag some networks and device for a better view while the discover works in the background.

Then I deselect "Enable automatic layout" and used "save" to save my map layout.
But then new devices appeared in the upper-left corner. They become not connected, even after some time. The only way to show them connected where they should was by using the "redo layout" option.

Is there a way to get the maps saved and update the topology when new devices are found? Creating a new map layout when a new device comes online is no option for me...

Or do I something wrong?

Best regards,
Tom

Hello!

Unfortunately maps is probably the worst part of a system which requires a lot of improvements. Your problem cannot be solved in current release. Work on new map implementation is under way, but it is not ready yet. However, I plan to fix at least big problems in current map implementation. Next release of NetXMS should contain some improvements there.

Best regards,
Victor

As attachment you see the map how it looks at my network.

Just as an information for you

Scale 1:4

Btw: I played around with more maps in the latest release - but unfortunately there are no links between the devices, or I didnt check it
I will wait for the next release and then post again.

Greetings
Tom
