I'm need for Kibana to generate paths from my index of position data. The best I could come up with is adding a LineString geojson shape to every position (using the former position). Is this really the best way to accomplish this task?

I first tried using Point-to-point, which removes the need for me changing my index, but paths would only show up under extreme zoomed in cases.
