Hello,
Kibana has well identified my index (ims\_cyber\_logs). **I can see the logs in Discover** and build some classic visualization like bar, char, area..
But when I try to build a map, and specifically by selecting a source like Documents or Grid Aggregation, my index is not listed. **There is only the Kibana data sample logs** :
What is **strange** is I can build a Vector Shape like World Countires, and in the "Terms join" section, I can select my index as you can see here :
Index is fresh. As I can see my index in a specific place and not in another I don't understand this behavior.
Would you have some ideas to figure this out ?
Thank you !

The `Index pattern` for Documents only shows index patterns with a field mapped as `geo_point` or `geo_shape`.
You can look in the documentation for more details at [Vector layer | Kibana Guide [master] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/vector-layer.html)
How is your geospatial data indexed? Did you index the field as [geo\_point](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/geo-point.html) or [geo\_shape](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/geo-shape.html)?

Indeed I don't have these fields.... I think this is because I use custom template
So I had to create a new template to have geopoint field :
```
PUT /_template/ims_ilm_template
{
"index_patterns": ["ims_cyber_logs-*"],
"settings": {
"number_of_shards": 3,
"number_of_replicas": 1,
"index.lifecycle.name": "ims_ilm_policy",
"index.lifecycle.rollover_alias": "ims_cyber_logs",
"index.routing.allocation.include.box_type": "hot"
},
"mappings" : {
"properties" : {
"geoip" : {
"dynamic" : true,
"properties" : {
"ip" : {
"type" : "ip"
},
"latitude" : {
"type" : "half_float"
},
"location" : {
"type" : "geo_point"
},
"longitude" : {
"type" : "half_float"
}
}
},
"@version" : {
"type" : "keyword"
}
}
}
}
```
Thanks a lot for your help @Nathan_Reese ! 😀
