== Heat map layer
|
|
|
|
In the heat map layer, point data is clustered to show locations with higher densities.

You can create a heat map layer from the following data source:
|
|
|
|
*Grid aggregation*:: Geospatial data grouped in grids with metrics for each gridded cell.
|
|
Set *Show as* to *heat map*.
|
|
The index must contain at least one field mapped as {ref}/geo-point.html[geo_point].
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Only count and sum metric aggregations are available with the grid aggregation source and heat map layers.
|
|
Mean, median, min, and max are turned off because the heat map will blend nearby values.
|
|
Blending two average values would make the cluster more prominent, even though it just might literally mean that these nearby areas are average.
