Dashboards - Bettermap Tile Server Issue
Posted: Tue Jul 19, 2016 4:25 pm
Some of you may have experienced problems with the bettermap dashboard plugin this week.
We are working on a solution to the problem, which will be addressed in a new version of Nagios Log Server once the fix has been implemented.
What happened: The plugin used a freely provided tile server hosted by MapQuest. As of July 11th, 2016 MapQuest decided to remove the open concept in favor of a subscription service, which does include a free tier. However, even using the free tier, which also requires registration and a tile limit, there is no longer direct access to the tile server.
