I would like to have a map as visualization on dashboard which will show all my points of interest together with its states. States can be Operation/In Service/Non Operational and should be different in color. Also it should be possible to click on a point to show its details from data stored in index. Then Kibana can be used as a monitoring solution for my points of interest and dashboard can be refreshed every time in defined time interval. I was looking in Coordinate Map in Kibana, but it works only with aggregations and therefore user is not able to interact with points shown on map. I was trying to google for something similar, for plugins, but none was found. Anyone has experience with similar use case in Kibana? Is there any way how to do it? ---

Hey @romanc unfortunately, this isn't currently possible. There's an [issue](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/5505) in GitHub to track this request, if you wouldn't mind adding your use-case or giving it a +1 it'll help us prioritize this new feature appropriately. ---

Thank you for your reply. I have an update, I was able to show on map points using Vega visualization plugin for Kibana. Moreover I am able to show points in different colors representing different states. However I am not able to click on any point in visualization as in Coordinate map. From my point of view it looks much more better now with Vega. I need to figure out how to do it more user interactive to have a complete proof of concept 🙂 ---

@romanc I'm glad to hear you've gotten it working with the Vega plugin! ---

@romanc, in Vega you can set tooltip on a mark to an expression (signal) - and it will show up on mouseover. You could also do a more complex manual popup, where you create a box with all the text or other elements you need, and show that graph on some signal - e.g. when a user clicks on an item. Good luck! P.S. you can also use href to specify click target. ---
