Elastic Cloud and kibana.yml

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Hello everyone,

This might seem like a trivial question but I cannot find any documentation on it online.

I am running a trial version of Elastic Cloud and I need to use custom region maps: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/regionmap.html

This means that I have to modify kibana.yml with a few region map settings, like I am able to do in a on-premise cluster.

Looking at the possible settings I can apply to a cloud cluster, I only see elasticsearch.yml available:
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/cluster-config.html#user-settings

So in summary, how can I use custom region maps in Kibana hosted on Elastic Cloud?

Thank you,
George

hi @georgezo,

you won't be able to modify the kibana.yml on Cloud, so custom Region Maps can't be configured in that deployment.

This is what I was afraid of :cry:
Are there any plans to support region maps in elastic cloud then or even better host regions maps within kibana itself? With no machine learning and custom maps in the cloud I find it impossible to move from on-premise to cloud hosting...

Thank you,
George

Hi @georgezoto,

I know :frowning:

there's plans to support Region Maps in Cloud, so please stay tuned for that. I am not sure about timeline for ML, so I cannot really speak to that part.
