Hello community,
I am following the article ([https://www.elastic.co/blog/custom-region-maps-in-kibana-6-0](https://www.elastic.co/blog/custom-region-maps-in-kibana-6-0)), I would like to add the US\_counties in vector map with join field as county-name in kibana with the help of geoserver.
I understand that just adding the layers on kibana configuration file is enough but I have no idea how to use geoserver with kibana to get the results.
If anyone has any document or post a comment would be much appreciated.

Setting up a geoserver should be easy for sharing geo-spatial data. Its a free and open-source WMS server, which makes it compatible with Kibana. Downloading and installing this software onto your favorite platform is easy, and results in a Web Front end that you can log into to manage your tile service. Once the server is running, you can log into via http://:8080/geoserver
