Map settings in Kibana

Elastic Cloud Hosted

map.regionmap

Specifies additional vector layers for use in Region Map visualizations. Each layer object points to an external vector file that contains a geojson FeatureCollection. The file must use the WGS84 coordinate reference system and only include polygons. If the file is hosted on a separate domain from Kibana, the server needs to be CORS-enabled so Kibana can download the file. The following example shows a valid regionmap configuration.

map.regionmap:
  includeElasticMapsService: false
  layers:
    - name: "Departments of France"
      url: "http://my.cors.enabled.server.org/france_departements.geojson"
      attribution:   "INRAP"
      fields:
        - name: "department"
          description: "Full department name"
        - name: "INSEE"
          description: "INSEE numeric identifier"

map.regionmap.includeElasticMapsService

Turns on or off whether layers from the Elastic Maps Service should be included in the vector layer option list. Supported on Elastic Cloud Enterprise. By turning this off, only the layers that are configured here will be included. The default is true.

map.regionmap.layers[].attribution

Optional. References the originating source of the geojson file.

map.regionmap.layers[].fields[]

Mandatory. Each layer can contain multiple fields to indicate what properties from the geojson features you wish to expose. The previous example shows how to define multiple properties.

map.regionmap.layers[].fields[].description

Mandatory. The human readable text that is shown under the Options tab when building the Region Map visualization.

map.regionmap.layers[].fields[].name

Mandatory. This value is used to do an inner-join between the document stored in Elasticsearch and the geojson file. For example, if the field in the geojson is called Location and has city names, there must be a field in Elasticsearch that holds the same values that Kibana can then use to lookup for the geoshape data.

map.regionmap.layers[].name

Mandatory. A description of the map being provided.

map.regionmap.layers[].url

Mandatory. The location of the geojson file as provided by a webserver.

tilemap.options.attribution

Adds the map attribution string.

tilemap.options.maxZoom

Sets the maximum zoom level.

tilemap.options.minZoom

Sets the minimum zoom level.

tilemap.options.subdomains

Provides an array of subdomains used by the tile service. Specify the position of the subdomain the URL with the token {{s}}.

tilemap.url

Lists the URL to the tileservice that Kibana uses to display map tiles in tilemap visualizations.
