Follow the steps to add a geo-map chart in an observability dashboard:

Define the Geolocation of Devices

​Defining the geolocation of devices is necessary before using a Geo-map Chart.

2. On the Manage Address tab, you can manage and add all geolocations and give geolocations an easily recognizable name.
   • To add manually, click Add Address. On the Define Geolocation window, choose either of the two options to define the geolocation.
     
     
     1. Option 1: Define by Address: Enter the country, state, and city. Click OK.
        Example: You can modify the Address Name as Boston Data Center.
     2. Option 2: Define by Coordinates (Lat/Long): Enter the latitude and longitude; Modify the Address Name if needed. Click OK.
        

        Note: The address name must be unique.

   • To batch import geolocations, click Import. To be successfully imported, the CSV file must have two column headers: Address name and Geolocation.
