Locate Devices

JFrog Connect uses Google Maps to present device locations based on the device IP addresses. You can also set locations manually. Use the map in Connect to locate all your 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 above the map, and the map will focus on that device and display its details.

Change Device Location

The different ways to change a device's location are described below.

Manual Location

To change a device’s location manually, do the following:

1. Go to Devices in the left navigation tree and click the device you need to change. A panel opens on the right showing device details.

2. In the Device Details tab, go to System Configuration, and click the Edit icon (pencil).

1. Under Location, choose Manual.

1. Enter the new location and save.

Refresh Location

You can refresh the locations of your devices in the fleet. However, the refresh function does not act on any device that has Manual Location configured.

To refresh devices, do the following:

1. Go to Fleet Settings in the left navigation tree and choose the Fleet tab.

2. Click Refresh Location. This will refresh the location of devices in the fleet according to their IP addresses. Devices that have been set for Manual location will not be refreshed.
