Hello,

How to enable region map in kibana 7.6.0  
I see in the documentation that `xpack.maps.showMapVisualizationTypes` to `true`  
I am not sure though where to add this.

Thank you

Hi @saiteja,

you have to add this setting to your `kibana.yml` file and restart your Kibana server. Then they should show up in the new visualizations dialog.

Judging from your docker command you are trying to mount a config file into the Logstash container instead of Kibana.

Did you copy the wrong command?

yes it was a typo

here is the command

docker run -d --name kibana --network=elastic -v /config/kibana.yml:/opt/ranger/config-dir/kibana.yml -p 5601:5601 [docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:7.6.0](http://docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:7.6.0)

According to [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/docker.html#bind-mount-config](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/docker.html#bind-mount-config) the config file must be mounted under `/usr/share/kibana/config/kibana.yml` in the container.
