Geo Heatmap not showing data points on the map.

Hi all,

I am having difficulty with geostats and the Geo heatmap visualization.

No matter what I input into the geostats command nothing is displayed on the map.
The same geostats results show up on all other mapping visualizations and display correctly.

Has anyone else had these issues?

thanks in advance,
Simon

This is a search example:

index="ndov_chb" source="meetboek_2017-07-26.csv" earliest=1 latest=now  

| eval y = RD_y, x = RD_x

| where y > 0 AND x > 0

| eval dX = round((('x' - 155000) *
0.00001),5), dY = round((('y' - 463000) * 0.00001),5)
| eval SomN = (3235.65389 * dY) + (-32.58297 * pow(dX,2)) + (-0.2475 * pow(dY,2)) + (-0.84978 * pow(dX,2) * dY) + (-0.0655

* pow(dY,4)) + (0.00022 * pow(dY,2)) + (-0.00022 * pow(dX,2)) + (0.00026 * pow(dX,5))

| eval latitude = 52.15517 + (SomN / 3600), longitude = 5.387206 + (SomE / 3600)

| where latitude<60 AND longitude < 8 AND latitude>0 AND longitude>0
| eval haltecodes = substr(Quaycode,6,len(Quaycode)-5)
| geostats latfield=latitude longfield=longitude count

here is an example of my geostats results:

I believe this app is dead because it is indeed not showing anything in splunk 7.3

I think you need to do a count by field

For example | geostats latfield=latitude longfield=longitude count by geobin

Hi Andre,

Thanks for the tip.

Unfortunately it does not seem to have any effect.

Using the cluster map or custom cluster map with the same results draws perfectly. Its only if you change it to the geo heatmap that nothing shows. What is strange is that if you zoom in you see the legend change based on the geobin it is using and the event count returned,

Its seems to me that the visualization is not rendering on the tiles. I am going to try clear out my browser and try some others and see if it gives the same problem.
