Continuing the discussion from [Kibana dashboard of "Elastic for Operational Analytics" webinar](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-dashboard-of-elastic-for-operational-analytics-webinar/98724/2):

I have tried to create a region map using the `requestCountry` attribute containing the request's country. That attribute holds the two letters ISO code (FR, US, BE, etc).

I am afraid that the doc didn't help me, perhaps I am looking at the wrong place?

hi @snicoll,

that should work ok. the default world map has a two digit country code as well.

the docs are here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/\_configuration\_2.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/_configuration_2.html)

In the Data-tab, you would do terms-aggregation on your `requestCountry`-field and then select the `iso-2` field in the Options-tab.

Thanks for the reply.

Sorry I am still confused ☹

This is my data tab:  
 ![data](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/2/a/2a56d32678cc89f4341782eea0bb20721aa64cc8.png)

On my instance, the vector map is empty. Am I supposed to select something there?

Regardless it does not work. I guess it's trying to highlight US state or something? When I click on vector map, I have an empty list and nothing to select. I am on elastic cloud with Kibana 5.5.2.

Thanks!

hi @snicoll,

You are running into this known bug: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/13931](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/13931).

It has been fixed but will only be available at the next patch release. This usually takes a couple of weeks. Apologies for the inconvenience.

If you can, you can try and run 5.5.1 instead.
