Vector layer

edit

The vector layer displays points, lines, and polygons.

vector layer

You can create a vector layer from the following sources:

Configured GeoJSON
Vector data from hosted GeoJSON configured in kibana.yml. See map.regionmap.* in Configuring 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.

Grid aggregation
Geospatial data grouped in grids with metrics for each gridded cell. Set Show as to grid rectangles or points. The index must contain at least one field mapped as geo_point.
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.
