Locate Devices

When a device registers to JFrog Connect, the Google Maps geolocation service uses the device’s public IP address to assign it a location. This location is an estimate and might not be exact. This page describes how you can view devices on a map in JFrog Connect’s web UI and different methods to change the device location.

View Devices on Map

Viewing devices on the map is not available to on-prem customers.

You can view a map of your device locations in the Fleet Overview page. Go to Overview in the left navigation tree and scroll down to the map. Each peg on the map represents a device. Green pegs are online and red are offline. When you click a peg, you can see more details about the device.

You can adjust the position and magnification of the map to see all of the devices in the map.

Locate Device on the Map

If you know the device name, you can use the map to find the location of a device. Just choose the device name in the dropdown list, and the map will focus on that device and display its details.
