Elastic Maps Brings New Layers to Geospatial Analytics in Kibana

Geo is an important part of search, whether you’re looking at logs to see where network traffic originates, answering questions like “How many taxis were available in the Chicago Financial District in the past 5 minutes?” or even correlating the magnitude and geographic reach of an earthquake with the scope of a network outage.

The Elastic Maps solution allows users to view and explore this location data in a more intuitive way. With features like multiple layers and plotting individual data points and shapes, with many options for customization, this solution improves on Elastic’s existing geospatial visualizations. Elastic Maps is launching in beta with the 6.7 release, and is included in Kibana by default, which means it's available today in Elastic Cloud.

Expanded Observability with the New Uptime Solution

The 6.7 release also introduces a new solution, Uptime, to proactively monitor systems, services, and APIs for expanded observability. The Uptime solution automatically detects when application services are down or are responding slowly, even before those services are called by the application, and provides proactive notifications.

Based on Heartbeat, a lightweight data shipper for uptime monitoring, Uptime can be deployed both inside and outside an organization’s network. It can be used to understand service uptime and response time characteristics from multiple network vantage points and to verify that services are available and returning the correct response codes. By combining the Uptime solution with logs, metrics, and APM data, users will be able to bridge data silos and speed up troubleshooting and root cause analysis across their observability initiatives.
