Good afternoon people. I'm new here and I have a question. I have two indexes: 1 - Data being indexed through a json that contains mainly location (latitude and londitude) and the name of an asset. 2- A geofence with a polygon (static, logically) I would like to know, if I can create a dashboard so that when this asset of the first index, when entering the geofence, it shows a dashlet with a counter of this event? ---

You can use [containment alert](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/geo-alerting.html) and [index action](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/index-action-type.html) to create an event when an entity enters a boundary. Then you could map this event in maps. ---
