Vector layer
editVector layer
editVector layers display points, lines, and polygons.

To add a vector layer to your map, click Add layer, then select one of the following layers:
- Clusters and grids
- Geospatial data grouped in grids with metrics for each gridded cell. The index must contain at least one field mapped as geo_point.
- Configured GeoJSON
- Vector data from hosted GeoJSON configured in kibana.yml. See map.regionmap.* in Configure Kibana for details.
- Documents
- Vector data from a Kibana index pattern. The index must contain at least one field mapped as geo_point or geo_shape.
Document results are limited to the index.max_result_window
index setting, which defaults to 10000.
Use aggregations to plot large data sets.
- EMS Boundaries
- Administrative boundaries from Elastic Maps Service.
- Point to point
- Aggregated data paths between the source and destination. The index must contain at least 2 fields mapped as geo_point, source and destination.
- Upload Geojson
- Index GeoJSON data in Elasticsearch.
