Can't map geo_shapes in Kibana 6.3.0

[Mike_Niemaz]

Hello,
I'm using ES and Kibana 6.3.0.

I have the following data indexed in ES:
{
"name": "toto",
"geometry": {
"coordinates": [
[4.859827543815293,45.79326990362306],
[4.859918233802282,45.793044004700306]
],
"type": "LineString"
}
}
with the following mapping:
"mappings": {
"xxx": {
"dynamic": "strict",
"properties": {
"name": {
"type": "text",
"fields": {
"keyword": {
"ignore_above": 256,
"type": "keyword"
}
}
},
"geometry": {
"type": "geo_shape"
}
}
}
}

The problem I have is to visualize the above shpe on a map using Kibana's Region Map visualization.
Indeed, when I select the shapefield, it does not list my geo_shape type term (i.e: geometry) so I can not display anything on the map.

Any idea why?

Thanx,

Hi @Mike_Niemaz

There is currently not support for geo_shape in Kibana. You can track the progress here which describes the first scope of the new geo solution which includes what your looking to accomplish.
