I have tried to use Region Map with the output from logstash plugin (I had the data generated by logstash 5.4.3 and 5.5.0) and got a warnings

When I tried to match ~140 countries there did not match

Region map: Could not show 18 results on the map. To avoid this, ensure that each term can be joined to a corresponding shape on that shape's join field. Could not join following terms: SG,HK,RE,BH,MT,CC,MU,AG,SC,GP,KN,ST,XK,CV,BQ,JE,MF,MO

With the matching by country name 27 unmatched

Region map: Could not show 27 results on the map. To avoid this, ensure that each term can be joined to a corresponding shape on that shape's join field. Could not join following terms: Czechia,Republic of Korea,Singapore,Hong Kong,Republic of Lithuania,Slovak Republic,Republic of Moldova,Bosnia and Herzegovina,Dominican Republic,Myanmar [Burma],Réunion,Bahrain,Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan,Malta,Cocos [Keeling] Islands,Mauritius,Antigua and Barbuda,Seychelles,Guadeloupe,Ivory Coast,Saint Kitts and Nevis,São Tomé and Príncipe,Cape Verde,Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba,Jersey,Macao,Saint Martin

Not sure if that is logstash issue or kibana. Or just the data generated by logstash 5.4.3

The region map is based on natural earth data and does not include all countries. E.g. small city states and island countries are missing from the natural earth data: for example Singapore (SG), Hong Kong (HK), Reunion (RE).

You can also turn off the error message in the advanced settings. Switch visualization:regionmap:showWarnings to false

whats the work around for this? I have data in Singapore I would like to display.

hi @willgitformoney, you can host your own file, and configure it in the kibana.yml.

Still missing SS (South Sudan).

@CloseAtHand yes, South Sudan is still missing. We rely on 3rd party data. Would you mind opening a separate issue for this?
