Hosts Geo map not working

[satishdotpatel]

I have two ntopng server, one of them i am getting this error when i got to "Hosts Geo Map" I am running 2.5.160701 - Community Edition

Oops! Something went wrong.
This page didn't load Google Maps correctly. See the JavaScript console for technical details.

Found solution:

Google change some policy so you need to obtain API key and insert into /usr/share/ntopng/scripts/lua/hosts_geomap.lua

<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&sensor=false&key=YOUR_API_KEY"></script>

thanks for pointing it out. We have added a new field in the ntopng preferences page to set the google api key

Yeah your preferences area doesn't help if the page doesn't load regardless of my api key. Tried another api key too.

Google requires SSL/TLS connection for maps API to work as Java console states.
I have the same problem and will test https redirecting later. Insecure connection is deprecated.

I think you have turn HTTPS on for ntopng, see https://github.com/ntop/ntopng/blob/dev/doc/README.SSL

Great, Simone, it works under ntop SSL! I've turned
-W 8080
option and certs under httpdocs folder and my API showed me the map and geotargeting of the collected IPs.
I think the issue above was with the same collision, but we need ghost to confirm.
