Hello,
I am wondering if there is a possibility to add geoTagging to the monitors. For example. If I have a centralized elasticsearch from where I am running heartbeat and I am setting up a monitor for the services that are running on different datacenters in EU, US, I would like to have the ability to be able to show up the monitors for those datacenters in the map app. Can I do something like that?

Yes, this is possible! There are two things you may want to geotag: 1. where heartbeat is 2. where the thing it is monitoring is.
For specifying where heartbeat is see [this doc](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/heartbeat/current/configuration-observer-options.html).
For specifying where the thing that's being monitored is I would add the [ECS Geo](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/ecs/current/ecs-geo.html) fields at the root of the document which should work with the maps app. You can use the `add_fields` processor to do so. You can set [processors](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/heartbeat/current/configuration-heartbeat-options.html#monitor-processors) per heartbeat monitor add the `add_fields` processor there with the requisite geo fields.

Perfect. I will certainly try it as soon as I have a bit of time to work on it.
