Geo_shape field for document index not showing on map for polygons

[MarkCarroll]

Hello.

I am trying to display geo_shape polygon data on a Kibana map, using a document index. The map seems to be loading successfully as it zooms to where the polygon should be but there is no polygon drawn.

I have created a simple test:

PUT /polytest
{
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "location": {
        "type": "geo_shape"
      }
    }
  }
}

and then pushed some data to it:

POST polytest/_doc
{
  "location":  {
      "coordinates": [
        [
          [
            -0.076722,
            51.516602
          ],
          [
            -0.076712,
            51.516626
          ],
          [
            -0.076529,
            51.51668
          ],
          [
            -0.07632,
            51.516478
          ],
          [
            -0.076521,
            51.516429
          ],
          [
            -0.076722,
            51.516602
          ]
        ]
      ],
      "type": "Polygon"
    }

}

Using Kibana, I added a new map (Kibana -> Maps -> Create Maps)
Added layer -> Documents -> polytest

Is there an issue showing polygon data from a geo_shape field in a document index, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Mark

What version of Kibana are you running?

I was able to follow the steps you provided and display the polygon in Maps. Below are the steps I took

• PUT polytest index mappings
• POST polytest document you provided
• Created a kibana index pattern for polytest
• Created a new map and added a document layer from polytest
• Clicked fit to bounds to zoom in to data bounds.

Can you see the polygon if you zoom into the area around it?
