Hello, I want to show alerts on the map.

This thing is possible if, I create index from **kibana \> maps \> add layers \> create index** _zone_ and then **draw bounding box** and these **bounding box** are stored in index _zone_ ; and then the rule is defined for **tracking containment** where entity is _main_(this index stores live data) and boundary is _zone_ and it's tracked data is stored in index _Alert_.  
This _Alert_ maps the alert in map.

Now, what I am trying to do is I am receiving live data in _main_ and I am adding geo-point through api in index _zone_, what I want now is to show alert whenever data[geo-point] from _main_ intersects the _zone_'s geo-point under 2km radius.  
Do you think it is possible?

You could try using [circle injest processor](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/ingest-circle-processor.html) to convert your zone geo points + radius into shapes. Then you could use the existing tracking containment alerting to generate alerts when main is contained by zones.
