Hello!  
Someone can show me please how to import coordinates and build a map. Or maybe is some posts where I can see process from beginning. For example I need some file with a data, where will be: Id, Mag,Location, Alternative Name, Date, Time, Latitude, Longitude, References. How to import using filebeat this file to elasticsearch and build a map in kibana?

for example data is:  
1, 9.5, Bio-Bio, Chile|Valdivia Earthquake, 1960-05-22, 19:11, 38.14°S, 73.41°W, Kanamori & Anderson, 1975

Hi there, there are a few ways to accomplish your goal. First, I suggest checking out the [Loading Sample data tutorial](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/tutorial-load-dataset.html). This will show you a few ways to ingest documents from files, using cURL. It might be enough to unblock you. If not, I suggest skimming the [Index API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-index_.html) and [Bulk API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-bulk.html) to see if these will help you get the data into ES in a way that's suitable to your use case.

Beyond that, you could dive more into Filebeat or maps, but here are some resources for each:

1. [Filebeat](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-getting-started.html)
2. [Maps in KIbana](https://www.google.com/search?q=creating+maps+in+kibana&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS695US695&oq=creating+maps+in+kibana&aqs=chrome..69i57.2487j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8)

Please let me know if you get stuck.

Thanks,  
CJ
