== Region Maps
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
Kibana’s out-of-the-box settings do not show a region map in the New Visualization menu. Use <<maps>> instead, which offers more functionality and is easier to use.
|
||
If you want to create new region map visualizations, set `xpack.maps.showMapVisualizationTypes` to `true`.

|
||
=== Configuration
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||

|
||
==== Data
|
||
|
||
[float]
|
||
===== Metrics
|
||
|
||
Select any of the supported _Metric_ or _Sibling Pipeline Aggregations_.
|
||
|
||
[float]
|
||
===== Buckets
|
||
|
||
Configure a _Terms_ aggregation. The term is the _key_ that is used to join the results to the vector data on the map.
|
||

|
||
==== Options
|
||
|
||
[float]
|
||
===== Layer Settings
|
||
- *Vector map*: select from a list of vector maps. This list includes the maps that are hosted by the © https://www.elastic.co/elastic-maps-service[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,regionmap settings>> documentation. You can also explore and preview vector layers available in Elastic Maps Service at https://maps.elastic.co[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`.
|
||
|
||
[float]
|
||
===== Style Settings
|
||
- *Color Schema*: the color range used to color the shapes.
|
||
|
||
[float]
|
||
===== Basic Settings
|
||
- *Legend Position*: the location on the screen where the legend should be rendered.
|
||
- *Show Tooltip*: indicates whether a tooltip should be displayed when hovering over a shape..
