Replace map markers by piecharts

Hey there!

We just updated to Splunk 6 and I wanted to create a new panel with the new integrated maps. That was easy to realize...but now I would like to replace the markers of the search results by pie charts. Unfortunately, I've absolutely no idea how to do it.

Please help. Thanks!

There is an example using piecharts on a map in the Splunk 6 Dashboard Examples app. I believe you just use the geostats command, like this:

... <your search string> ... | geostats latfield=lat longfield=lon count by <yourField>

From the docs on geostats:

You can now display geographic data and summaries on maps directly within Splunk. To do so, first run your reporting search with geostats, save it as a report or to a dashboard, then edit the Simple XML to include the visualization element. For more information, see:

"Visualization reference" in the Splunk Data Visualizations Manual.

The map element in the Simple XML Reference.
