Developer’s Corner: Audit your GeoServer installation with the new monitoring extensions

When running one or more GeoServer in production it is often important to keep tabs on the server and its workload. The monitoring community module, available among the nightly builds, allows to track requests flowing into the server and expose basic statistics about the traffic in terms of OGC services being used. Configured in "history" mode it also stores all relevant request details into a database, allowing other tools to perform detailed usage analysis in post processing.This is great, but has some limitations. In particular, but storing all request details into a single database table the speed at which the...

Developer corner: Compact choropleth map styles with the Categorize function

One common task in cartography making is setting up a choropleth map, that is, a map showing different shades of colors or patters for different categories of a statistical attribute, such as population.GeoServer example data directory ships with two such examples using an old USA states map having, among others, population count per state. The two following maps should be familar, the first is using the population style, the other the pophatch style:The original styles use a typical SLD 1.0 setup to build choropleth maps, that is, use rule filters to tell apart the categories.This is fine, but also quite...

Oceanographic Database, managing oceanographic data with GeoServer and GeoBatch

Dear All,in this post we'd like to introduce some work we have done recently at GeoSolutions towards an applications that is able to ingest in real-time, manage, visualize, retrieve and chart data acquired by oceanographic and meteorological sensors (like sensors mounted onboard underwater gliders as an instance) over time. We called this application, Oceanographic Database.The infrastructure we have put together is shown in the picture below.Summarising, we can identify the various components and their roles as follows:Data is ingested via GeoBatch in near real-time with proper prepocessingGeoServer is used in conjunction with some custom REST extensions for performinng visualization, dissemination and export to Google...
