New Service: Repings Server Monitoring

July 25, 2019

Repings is an easy to use server monitoring service. The range of functions is essentially limited to periodic checks of services (currently HTTP and Ping) and the notification delivery via Telegram Messenger.

It is an Erlang/OTP app built with Elixir and the Phoenix framework.

Users sign in via Telegram Login and Telegram Messenger. A new account and a Telegram chat for the notifications will be created on the first log in.

A free plan is available: TRY REPINGS

IPv6 Geolocation Reactivated

July 15, 2019

IPv6 Geolocation Deactivated

February 27, 2018

RevolverMaps has run IPv4 and IPv6 in parallel for a while now. Users with an IPv6 connection were located on the basis of their IPv6 address.

In fact the accuracy seems to be currently higher when users are located by their IPv4 address.

For this reason IPv6 geolocation has been deactivated for an indefinite period. It will be reactivated as soon as the geolocation data for IPv6 addresses provides better accuracy.

RevolverMaps Standard Classic Updated

February 8, 2016

In addition it supports touch gestures, UTF-8 text labels, it saves energy (lazy resource loading, no rendering if it's not visible), brings back the mouse wheel support and it looks great on high DPI displays.

The Flash globe still is displayed as fallback if the client system doesn't meet the minimum requirements for the new globe.

RevolverMaps Mini GL is a refurbished version of the RevolverMaps Mini widget providing lots of new customization options. Basing on web technologies like Javascript and WebGL it's independent of 3rd party plugins.

Features

graphics:
  • hardware accelerated rendering
  • antialiasing (mipmaps, bilinear/trilinear filtering)
controls (activate it with the REVOLVERMAPS button):

  • mouse and touchscreen support
  • change zoom level with mouse wheel or buttons
  • drag the globe into the desired view
energy saving features (lowering bandwith/CPU/GPU consumption):
  • loading of resources is deferred until the globe comes into view
  • synchronization of visitor data as well as the rendering loop stops if the globe is off-screen (in a background tab or scrolled out of the browser window)

Technical Backgrounds

browser compatibility:

As every RevolverMaps widget this one consists of two functional parts:

  1. The collection of the visitor data is designed to work in every and even very old browser.
  2. The monitoring function (the visible globe) is currently compatible with the lastest releases of the following web browsers:
    Note: As the most hardware accelerated 3D applications the globe also depends on the graphics hardware and the graphics driver.

    • Chrome/Chromium
    • Firefox
    • Chrome for Android
The globe will be displayed in Opera, Safari and Internet Explorer as soon as these browsers provide WebGL as a non experimental feature.

the table shows several GLobe test setups
The new 3D view GLobe provides a wider range of features and takes advantage of the hardware acceleration through the WebGL API. It's supposed to replace the good old Java globe.

To activate it go to the Live Statistics Page and select the 3D view. The GL button in the toolbar at the bottom of the old globe appears if your system is ready for WebGL. It links to the new globe. The button will restore the classic Java globe.

GLobe was successfully tested on systems with configurations listed in the table on the right.

See the FAQ for more information about WebGL and a list of compatible browsers.
