LogicMonitor's Map widgets are a great and easy way to plot resources/groups geographically, including their status. A question that comes up occasionally is if it's possible to show weather inform...
I've updated the example dashboard with another useful source: US power outages. The free API source I'm using provides the outage information by county, which also carries the benefit of being able to display county boundaries & names.
To enable it, just include "power outage" anywhere in the Map widget's title (case doesn't matter). Example: "Radar and US Power Outages". The more power customers currently reported as impacted by an outage, the darker I'm shading that county. To see details, just click the county. Like the other sources, the outage information will automatically refresh every few minutes.
Some things to note:
Because both the power outage information and the wildfire overlays use clicks, only one can be enabled on a specific Map widget at a time. If you want to see both just add a separate Map widget for each on your dashboard.
By default, UIv4 doesn't process rendering of off-screen dashboard widgets until you scroll to them. Because of this, any Map widgets toward the bottom of your dashboard might not display weather. To fix that, go into your dashboard's edit screen & add a token named `isMapWidgetVirtualizationDisabled` with a value of "true". A similar flag is being developed for Text widgets as well, so in the meantime you might need to keep the widget containing the weather script toward the top of your dashboard.
