We are investigating the possibilities for automatically generating shapes on a visio world map, to display the service status of that region based on alarm bubbling up.
However, rather than designing the regions on the map, this needs to be dynamically populated, and the shapes format also dynamically designed based on polygons defined in .kml files available in the dataminer documents folder.
Would there be a way of dataminer supporting this use case?
Elvio - just in case, but there is also an option to use a Google Maps or other map solution as your canvas and dynamically load managed objects on that along with your .kml files. Not sure if you can map services, would have to check that. But wanted to bring this up to see if this would be an option? DataMiner Help
If you want to work with a Visio design in Visual Overview, I'm thinking of the Path Markup feature. But that would require you to take the .klm data and convert it into coordinates that can be used to trace a path on Visual Overview dynamically (which could be done in a driver with some code, i.e. read the .klm data and generate the trace coordinates, which can then be used to drive the Visual Overview UI).

Thanks Ben.
I believe that, if we could link the managed objects (kml-defined areas) to a view, element, or service, and color code based on highest severity alarm, all on top of the google maps, that could suffice this use case and show the status of the service delivered to a region.
