Hi,

I`m using kibana 3.1.2 for visualization some events on the map with Bettermap. How can I create custom markers (icons) for different types of events?

I'm not sure you can, without hacking it up. It probably wouldn't be too hard to introduce a custom panel in Kibana 3, based on bettermap to do what you desribe.
