Tile Server

Datarobot ships with a tile server that allows geospatial visualizations in the app to have a map in the background.

Downloading Tiles

The Small Tiles url s included in the tileservergl subchart by default.

Datarobot provides tiles at different zoom levels which vary from few MBs up to 70 GB. Tiles with different levels of detail can be downloaded from our S3 location.

  • Large tiles (69.1 GB): https://datarobot-geospatial.s3.amazonaws.com/geospatial-map-data/mbtiles/tiles-zoom-14-20191202.post1-dr.mbtiles
  • Medium tiles (4.0 GB): https://datarobot-geospatial.s3.amazonaws.com/geospatial-map-data/mbtiles/tiles-zoom-11-20191202.post1-dr.mbtiles
  • Small tiles (245 MB): https://datarobot-geospatial.s3.amazonaws.com/geospatial-map-data/mbtiles/tiles-zoom-08-20191202.post1-dr.mbtiles

A good practice is to start with the default Small tiles first and switch to larger tiles post-install if more detailed maps are required. Medium tiles would normally be quick to download and would not slow down the helm release upgrade process, whereas Large tiles might require significant time to distribute.

Please note that if you use S3 as the shared data storage and plan to use tiles larger than 5 GB, you need to enable multipart uploads. They are enabled by default and can be disabled by setting MULTI_PART_S3_UPLOAD to false in datarobot-modeling-envvars. To configure these option, refer to the Tuning Datarobot Environment Variables section of this guide.

Download Different Tiles

To download either the Medium or Large tile sets, you will need to adjust the tileservergl.tiles_url value in your installation umbrella chart and upgrade your datarobot release.

In the values.yaml you will need to create or edit this tileservergl section. In the example below we are using the datarobot-generic umbrella chart, and adding the section.

# helm chart values snippet
...
core:
  config_env_vars:
    LOGGING_LEVEL: INFO
...
# add this section to override the small tiles url in the tileservergl subchart, and have the Medium charts downloaded
tileservergl:
  init_tiles: true
  tiles_url: MEDIUM_TILES_URL
