Hey,

I've searched and did not find a plugin or some method for Kibana to put an address instead of lat lon coordinates in the 'Maps' visualization in Kibana:

Is there any way to add this option for filtering the map?

What you're talking about is a geocoding service that turns an address into a lat long.

No that functionality is not built into Kibana or Elasticsearch.

Typically you would need to use a third party API or data set for this.

Is there any known/recommended way to embed this in Kibana with 3rd party API?
