Geomap Widget

This page is not yet available in Spanish. We are working on its translation.
If you have any questions or feedback about our current translation project, feel free to reach out to us!

The geomap widget visualizes geographic data with shaded regions or points. It can be used to:

  • View user sessions by country.
  • Filter to see a list of all sessions in a new tab.
  • View user sessions filtered by employee.
  • Monitor performance metrics like load time, core web vitals, and percent of views with errors.
Geomap visualization with the points overlay

Setup

Geomap Graph your data section of widget configuration

Configuration

  1. Choose the visualization layer:

    • Regions: Aggregate measures at a country level.
    • Points: Overlay events as points on the map to display geographic event data.

  2. Choose the data to graph:
    Note: Support for data sources varies based on the visualization layer you select.

      Data sourceNotes
      Log EventsThe group by tag must include a country ISO Code following the alpha-2 ISO format. You can use the GeoIP Processor to do this, or manually include the tags on ingest. See the Log search documentation to configure a log event query.
      MetricThe group by tag must include a country ISO Code following the alpha-2 ISO format. You can generate metrics from ingested logs, or manually include the tags on ingest. See the querying documentation to configure a metric query.
