This setting specifies the port to use. server.port: 5601 Specifies the address to which the Kibana server will bind. IP addresses and host names are both valid values.

Hi @Ayush_Goyal, welcome to the Elastic community forums!

It's not totally clear what you want to achieve.

- What version of Kibana are you using?
- Do you want to use [Elastic Maps](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/maps.html) or the older [region](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/6.8/regionmap.html) or [coordinate](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/6.8/tilemap.html) map visualizations?
- What kind (protocol) of custom map do you want to provide? WMS? XYZ?

Have you checked the documentation for [custom maps](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/settings.html#regionmap-settings) in the Kibana docs?
