== Connect to Elastic Maps Service
|
|
|
|
https://www.elastic.co/elastic-maps-service[Elastic Maps Service (EMS)] is a service that hosts
|
|
tile layers and vector shapes of administrative boundaries.
|
|
If you are using Kibana's out-of-the-box settings, Maps is already configured to use EMS.
|
|
|
|
EMS requests are made to the following domains:
|
|
|
|
* tiles.maps.elastic.co
|
|
* vector.maps.elastic.co
|
|
|
|
Maps makes requests directly from the browser to EMS.
|
|
|
|

|
|
=== Connect to Elastic Maps Service from an internal network
|
|
|
|
To connect to EMS when your Kibana server and browser are in an internal network:
|
|
|
|
. Set `map.proxyElasticMapsServiceInMaps` to `true` in your <<settings, kibana.yml>> file to proxy EMS requests through the Kibana server.
|
|
. Update your firewall rules to allow connections from your Kibana server to the EMS domains.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Coordinate map and region map visualizations do not support `map.proxyElasticMapsServiceInMaps` and will not proxy EMS requests through the Kibana server.
|
|
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
=== Disable Elastic Maps Service
|
|
|
|
You might experience EMS connection issues if your Kibana server or browser are on a private network or
|
|
behind a firewall. If this happens, you can disable the EMS connection to avoid unnecessary EMS requests.
|
|
|
|
To disable EMS, change your <<settings, kibana.yml>> file.
|
|
|
|
. Set `map.includeElasticMapsService` to `false` to turn off the EMS connection.
|
|
. Set `map.tilemap.url` to the URL of your tile server. This configures the default tile layer of Maps.
|
|
. (Optional) Set `map.regionmap` to the vector shapes of the administrative boundaries that you want to use.

=== Host Elastic Maps Service locally
|
|
|
|
beta::[]
|
|
|
|
If you cannot connect to Elastic Maps Service from the {kib} server or browser clients, and your cluster has the appropriate license level, you can opt to host the service on your own infrastructure.
|
|
|
|
{hosted-ems} is a self-managed version of Elastic Maps Service offered as a Docker image that provides both the EMS basemaps and EMS boundaries. You must first download and run the image. After connecting it to your {es} cluster for license validation, you're guided to download and configure the basemaps database, which must be retrieved separately.
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT: {hosted-ems} does not serve raster tiles, needed by Vega, coordinate, and region map visualizations.
|
|
|
|
You can use +docker pull+ to download the {hosted-ems} image from the Elastic Docker registry.
|
|
|
|
ifeval::["{release-state}"=="unreleased"]
|
|
Version {version} of {hosted-ems} has not yet been released, so no Docker image is currently available for this version.

["source","bash",subs="attributes"]
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
docker pull {ems-docker-image}
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Start {hosted-ems} and expose the default port `8080`:
|
|
|
|
["source","bash",subs="attributes"]
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
docker run --rm --init --publish 8080:8080 \
|
|
{ems-docker-image}
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Once {hosted-ems} is running, follow instructions from the webpage at `localhost:8080` to define a configuration file and download the basemaps database.

[[elastic-maps-server-bind-mount-config]]
|
|
===== Bind-mounted configuration
|
|
|
|
One way to configure {hosted-ems} is to provide `elastic-maps-server.yml` via bind-mounting. With +docker-compose+, the bind-mount can be specified like this:
|
|
|
|
["source","yaml",subs="attributes"]
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
|
version: '2'
|
|
services:
|
|
{hosted-ems}:
|
|
image: {ems-docker-image}
|
|
volumes:
|
|
- ./elastic-maps-server.yml:/usr/src/app/config/elastic-maps-server.yml
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
[[elastic-maps-server-envvar-config]]
|
|
===== Environment variable configuration
|
|
All configuration settings can be overridden by environment variables that are named with all uppercase letters and by replacing YAML periods with underscores. For example `elasticsearch.ssl.certificate` could be overridden by the environment variable `ELASTICSEARCH_SSL_CERTIFICATE`. Boolean variables must use the `true` or `false` strings.
|
|
|
|
WARNING: All information that you include in environment variables is visible through the `ps` command, including sensitive information.
|
|
|
|
These variables can be set with +docker-compose+ like this:
|
|
|
|
["source","yaml",subs="attributes"]
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------
|
|
version: '2'
|
|
services:
|
|
{hosted-ems}:
|
|
image: {ems-docker-image}
|
|
environment:
|
|
ELASTICSEARCH_HOST: http://elasticsearch.example.org

ELASTICSEARCH_USERNAME: 'ems'

ELASTICSEARCH_PASSWORD: 'changeme'

[[elastic-maps-server-data]]
|
|
==== Data
|
|
|
|
{hosted-ems} hosts vector layer boundaries and vector tile basemaps for the entire planet. Boundaries include world countries, global administrative regions, and specific country regions. A minimal basemap is provided with {hosted-ems}. This can be used for testing environments but won't be functional for normal operations. The full basemap (around 90GB file) needs to be mounted on the Docker container for {hosted-ems} to run normally.
|
|
|
|
TIP: The available basemaps and boundaries can be explored from the `/maps` endpoint in a web page that is your self-managed equivalent to https://maps.elastic.co
|
|
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
[[elastic-maps-server-kibana]]
|
|
==== Kibana configuration
|
|
|
|
With {hosted-ems} running, add the `map.emsUrl` configuration key in your <<settings, kibana.yml>> file pointing to the root of the service. This setting will point {kib} to request EMS basemaps and boundaries from {hosted-ems}. Typically this will be the URL to the <<ems-host,host and port>> of {hosted-ems}. For example, `map.emsUrl: https://my-ems-server:8080`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
[[elastic-maps-server-check]]
|
|
==== Status check
|
|
|
|
{hosted-ems} periodically runs a status check that is exposed in three different forms:
|
|
|
|
* At the root of {hosted-ems}, a web page will render the status of the different services.
|
|
* A JSON representation of {hosted-ems} status is available at the `/status` endpoint.
|
|
* The Docker https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#healthcheck[`HEALTHCHECK`] instruction is run by default and will inform about the health of the service, running a process equivalent to the `/status` endpoint.
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT: {hosted-ems} won't respond to any data request if the license validation is not fulfilled.
|
|
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
[[elastic-maps-server-logging]]
|
|
==== Logging
|
|
|
|
Logs are generated in {ecs-ref}[ECS JSON format] and emitted to the standard output and to `/var/log/elastic-maps-server/elastic-maps-server.log`. The server won't rotate the logs automatically but the `logrotate` tool is installed in the image. Mount `/dev/null` to the default log path if you want to disable the output to that file.
