Cities Map Panel

This plugin is a fork that fixes bugs and updates the Orchestra Cities Map plugin to the latest version.

This fork uses webpack to build the plugin and accepts as properties of a geojson a JSON, processing it and displaying its data nicely in the tooltip.

Orchestra Cities Map extends Grafana Geomap panel with several functionalities:

• Support for GeoJSON shapes
• Support for icons (icons supported are from FontAwesome)
• Support for pop up visualizations of data from a specific point
• Multiple layers for the different queries
• A new map layer leveraging Inverse distance weighting (IDW) interpolation for scattered data points using Shepard's method.

New customization options available for the markers layer:

• Cluster support with a lot of customization like distance and value to display
• A fully customizable pin with the possibility to change colors, shapes and sizes
• The possibility to select which properties to be displayed on the popup

Cluster options:

• Distance
• Min distance

Pin Options:

• Shape
• Size
• Customizable icon
• Shadow
• Gradient

Popup Options:

• Display a title
• Display the Timestamp
• Selectable properties

Options available for the IDW layer:

IDW options:

• Weight value to be used to create the interpolation, including min and max range
• Scale factor of the precision of the interpolation
• Show data values over the map

Pupup Options:

• Display a title
• Display the Timestamp
• Selectable properties

It requires Grafana >=8.2.0

Usage with PostGis

To use the plugin with PostGis, you need either to query longitude and latitude from a stored Point, e.g.:

• ST_X(ST_GeomFromEWKT(location_centroid)) AS \"longitude\"
• ST_Y(ST_GeomFromEWKT(location_centroid)) AS \"latitude\"

Or query the GeoJSON shape, e.g.:

• ST_AsGeoJSON(ST_GeomFromEWKT(location)) AS \"geojson\"

Usage with CrateDB

To use the plugin with CrateDB, you need either to query longitude and latitude from a stored Point, e.g.:

• longitude(location_centroid) AS \"longitude\"
• latitude(location_centroid) AS \"latitude\"

Or query the GeoJSON field, e.g.:

• location AS \"geojson\"

What is a Grafana Panel Plugin?

Panels are the building blocks of Grafana. They allow you to visualize data in different ways. While Grafana has several types of panels already built-in, you can also build your own panel, to add support for other visualizations.
