Hello,

I read the user guide and saw that we had to change the settings in the yml file to change the default map tiles. However, I don't see any _tilemap.url:_ etc in the file. I tried to add it and put the url of the tile I want to use, but then Kibana isn't starting anymore.

What would be the steps to follow in order to have this map as the actual tile for example, please:  
[http://leaflet-extras.github.io/leaflet-providers/preview/#filter=OpenStreetMap.France](http://leaflet-extras.github.io/leaflet-providers/preview/#filter=OpenStreetMap.France)

Thanks and sorry for my lack of knowledge, haven't found a similar topic for thie version of kibana.

Hello Houss, to setup map tiles in the Kibana version 4.6 locate the kibana.yml file (../config/kibana.yml) and add your tiles using following switches:

tilemap.url:  
tilemap.options.minZoom:  
tilemap.options.maxZoom:  
tilemap.options.attribution:  
tilemap.options.subdomains:

Link for the reference: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/4.6/kibana-server-properties.html#tilemap-settings](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/4.6/kibana-server-properties.html#tilemap-settings) I had exactly same issue and manage to resolve. Note the kibana needs to be restarted,

All the best, Tomek
