Region map visualization #10937

thomasneirynck · 2017-03-29T20:33:21Z

Summary: Kibana now has the Region Map Visualization. These are thematic maps in which boundary vector shapes are colored using a gradient, with higher intensity colors indicating larger values and lower intensity colors indicating smaller values. These are also known as choropleth maps. In order to color these layers, users specify a terms aggregation that matches a field in the vector layer. Kibana offers two vector layers by default; one for countries of the world and one for US Shapes. Users can also bring in their own vector layers by configuring the Kibana-configuration file to point to any GeoJson file that is hosted on a CORS-enabled server.

[EDIT]: see last comment for update wrt. data loading: #10937 (comment)

Introduce vector Map: Vector Maps / Choropleth Maps / Shapefile based fill maps #5039
rename map types: Rename map visualization types #11592

Feedback (round 2):

docs
play button shouldn't be enabled when configuration isn't valid
tests
get new icon (no longer use font-awesome)
make error messages consistent with Coordinate Map
desaturatization seems to be broken in coordinate map
manifest loading tests are broken due to refactor
ensure data isn't loaded twice

+    },


not 100% sure of this.

Since we're mashing up 2 datasets, the join might not succeed (partially or completely). The odds of having one or more results not being present on the map can be high, especially when the data is not very clean. That's why I introduced an advanced setting to turn these warnings on/off.

this looks great! some small comments below:

default zoom level (0) shows world 5 times .... 2 seems more appropriate
metrics have no title, looks a bit empty
only one metric is possible, it should be expanded
add alpha3 and numeric iso country codes ?
documentation on how to add my custom vector data ?
shape field + aggregation type (term) should be pre selected as its the only possibility
2 letter country code instead of 2 letter abbreviation ?
parent pipeline aggregations should be excluded from the metric agg list
does geocentroid metric make sense ?

thanks @ppisljar , I'll get started on your feedback..

alexfrancoeur · 2017-04-11T13:59:11Z

@thomasneirynck finally had some time this morning to play around with vector map. Please see my comments below. I believe I mentioned some of these in the previous PR so they might already be on your radar.
Edit: I also now realize that I provided some duplicate feedback that Peter had. Sorry!

Map is still zoomed out when creating a vector map

When switching between state and country abbreviations, I lose tooltips until I refresh.
Is geo centroid meant to be an aggregation available for a vector map? And for that matter, all visualizations? I see it everywhere but tilemap at the moment.

Somewhat related, there are pipeline aggregations that need a histogram or date histogram in order to work. Can we remove these from vector map configurations if they cannot be used?

Also if you change the aggregation, the error does not go away.

I believe you already have this as a task but the custom labels are not working at the moment.

Having some issues generating reports locally but will try vector maps there as well.

kobelb

Nice job! Just a few comments, and one thing that can hopefully be removed.

I'm also unsure how I feel about calling it "choropleth" in code, but "vector map" to the end-user. I could see someone new to the project struggling to find the relevant code because of the mis-match in naming.

rebasing against master, incorporating test-suite changes

thomasneirynck · 2017-04-20T18:18:07Z

After more discussion, we want to change how we load the example json files. Instead of using Kibana to serve those, we should host them from a central repo. Apart from that change, users will continue to be able to bring in custom data layers with the same mechanism we have now.

thomasneirynck · 2017-04-26T22:13:57Z

removing default data config.

all custom data should now be configured in the .yml.

e.g.

vectormap:
  layers:
     - name: "World Countries"
       url: "../plugins/choropleth/data/world_countries.json"
       fields:
          - name: "name"
            description: "Country name"
          - name: "iso2"
            description: "Two letter abbreviation"
          - name: "iso2"
            description: "Three letter abbreviation"
     - name: "US States"
       url: "../plugins/choropleth/data/us_states.json"
       fields:
          - name: "postal"
            description: "Two letter abbreviation"
          - name: "name"
            description: "State name"

Default layers will now be loaded from remote catalogue service (forthcoming)

thomasneirynck · 2017-05-03T21:48:19Z

with 6b41e66, we're testing against a new metadata-service. This is just a POC now, the structure of these documents, and the endpoints are not final yet.

thomasneirynck · 2017-05-05T04:42:59Z

@ppisljar @kobelb fyi, I've refactored this to use a new file-server infra has setup (POC just now). These changes make all the unit tests fail, but do take an initial look already if you can. I'll work on tests once we've settled with infra on the final version of the new manifest schemas.

What's your reasoning for cloning these settings? It's my understanding that these injected_vars are serialized into an HTMLElement in the initial response and then deserialized client-side, so it seems that this might be unnecessary.

Generally, I've seen us using the .default() method of Joi to set defaults for the config schema, so we could do something like the following in the 'src/server/config/schema.js' to do the equivalent:

regionmap: Joi.object({ layers: Joi.array().items(Joi.object({ url: Joi.string(), type: Joi.string(), name: Joi.string(), fields: Joi.array().items(Joi.object({ name: Joi.string(), description: Joi.string() })) })).default([]) }).default()

The .default([]) portion of above should always default the layers to an empty array if they aren't specified.

+  const { min, max } = getMinMax(data);

Doing data.slice() here and then doing data.splice(lastIndex, 1) below inside of the getLeafletStyleFunction is rather confusing. We're using getLeafletStyleFunction to mutate data that is also used by getMismatches, so the order that these functions are called becomes significant. Was this intentional?

yes, that order is significant. the getMisMatches is just for the client to be able to read out the errors of the inner-join (ie. the style function).

This should only be being called once for the "client-side app" when it's registering all the visualization types, what are we trying to prevent with the slice()? I know before that we were having layers duplicated when creating multiple maps in a row, was this meant to address this?

sibling pipeline aggs should be allowed (no reason why they should be disabled i think)

sample use case:
i want to show usage of windows operating system around the world

for the shape field i select term aggregation on geo.src (to get countries)
for metric i would choose sum bucket aggregation where for bucket i would choose filter aggregation with filter like machine.os.raw: win* and for metric i would choose unique count on clientIp

i would get representation of windows usage around the world.

wrt. tilemap-config. still required, since people can override the url still to plug in a custom url. perhaps we can deprecate this configuration in 6.0, but keeping it for now.
