Hi, guys, I will try to plot my database in kibana.  
Hi have in my CSV file lat and long and I previously set it, to works fine with a coordinate map.

Now I would like to show my CSV and total of cases in the region map.  
I found an explanation in the elastic page so I copied the conf code in kibana.yml like this.

```
regionmap:

```

layers:  
- name: "Brazilian States"  
url: "/home/sirox84/elk-local/br\_muns.geojson"  
attribution: "[https://exploratory.io/maps](https://exploratory.io/maps)"  
fields:  
- name: "STATE\_NAME"  
description: "State Name"

in kibana show me:

 ![regionmap](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/3/4/34a92acc83025959c48acaadbb283f581768627e.png)

But I still don't understand how it could work.  
Can you explain me better?  
Thanks a lot

Layers need to be made available via a webserver, you can't use a file at this stage.

See [Configure Kibana | Kibana Guide [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/settings.html#regionmap-settings);

> The location of the geojson file as provided by a webserver.
