Region Maps

edit

Region maps are thematic maps in which boundary vector shapes are colored using a gradient: higher intensity colors indicate larger values, and lower intensity colors indicate smaller values. These are also known as choropleth maps.

Configuration

edit

To create a region map, you configure an inner join that joins the result of an Elasticsearch terms aggregation and a reference vector file based on a shared key.

Layer Settings
edit
  • Vector map: select from a list of vector maps. This list includes the maps that are hosted by the © Elastic Maps Service, as well as your self-hosted layers that are configured in the config/kibana.yml file. To learn more about how to configure Kibana to make self-hosted layers available, see the regionmap settings documentation. You can also explore and preview vector layers available in Elastic Maps Service at https://maps.elastic.co.
  • Join field: this is the property from the selected vector map that will be used to join on the terms in your terms-aggregation. When terms cannot be joined to any of the shapes in the vector layer because there is no exact match in the vector layer, Kibana will display a warning. To turn of these warnings, go to Management/Kibana/Advanced Settings and set visualization:regionmap:showWarnings to false.
