Map Visualization in kibana with location name

[Gauti (Gautham)]

HI All,

We are trying to create a map visualization in kibana but we dont have latitude and longitude fields, all we have is location name. Is there a possible way to create map with having location name alone?

Any suggestions please.

Thanks

Converting location name to lat/lon is called geocoding. The elastic stack does not provide any geocoding capabilities at the moment.

It looks like there is a logstash filter that can provide geocoding. You can set up a logstash configuration to enrich your documents with lat/lon using this logstash filter.
