Map Charts

Map charts are visual representations that use color coding to display data values across regions and provide insights into data patterns, trends, and distribution of the data globally.

Cluster and Heatmap

Cluster and Heatmap graphically depicts the location and number of hits from data on a map.

To map your data you can: 

• Use the geoip or Geo Lookup operators to provide these values from extracted IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
• Manually provide valid aggregated latitude and longitude values. Ensure the field names are latitude and longitude so that map chart can recognize them. Format the values with positive or negative values based on being north/south or east/west, instead of using the terms N/S, E/W, such as, 30.42 and -87.21.
• A _count aggregator is required. 
• Other aggregators like sum or avg do not provide accurate results.
