I would like to use ES document with geo\_point type field as data source to draw points in Grafana worldmap panel.

To work with Grafana worldmap, we need to set "geohash: true" option in geo\_point type mapping.  
[Grafana worldmap document](https://swarm.hiveeyes.org/grafana/plugins/grafana-worldmap-panel/edit)  
[geohash option](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.1/geohash.html#geohash)

But the geo\_hash option is no longer supported since ES5.0  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.0/breaking\_50\_mapping\_changes.html#\_literal\_geo\_point\_literal\_fields](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.0/breaking_50_mapping_changes.html#_literal_geo_point_literal_fields)

So, Can you advise how to make data field for Grafana worldmap?  
Thanks!

I've also post the same issues to elasticsearch.

Hi @Kevin_Kuei

Grafana is not an Elastic product so I do not think we will be able to help with this. Perhaps you can find help on their website?
