KML files not displaying...

[dbeuth]

Hi,

I am trying to overlay my map with a KML or KMZ. I have tried multiple files and have had no luck.

Steps taken
Copied KML and KMZ to
/opt/splunk/etc/apps/leaflet_maps_app/appserver/static/visualizations/leaflet_maps/contrib/kml

Selected format visualization
Selected Overlays
Entered the KML name
Saved
Reloaded dashboard.

Am I doing something wrong?

Cheers

Dan

Found the issue the KML and KMZ files need to be in the maps_plus directory not leaflet_maps

/opt/splunk/etc/apps/leaflet_maps_app/appserver/static/visualizations/maps-plus/contrib/kml

Hello Dan

could you post an example kml file. I tried several ones, but they are not displayed. I also check the file location and it seems to be correct.

Hi Thomas,

Sure, please see below a KML of the Northern Territory in Australia. I created this one using the Shapester app in Splunk.

<kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2">
    <Document id="root_doc">
        <Schema name="nt_aus" id="nt_aus">
            <SimpleField name="Name" type="string"/>
        </Schema>
        <Folder>
            <name>nt_aus</name>
        <Placemark>
    <name>NT-Australia</name>
    <Style><LineStyle><color>ff0000ff</color></LineStyle><PolyStyle><fill>0</fill></PolyStyle></Style>
    <Polygon><outerBoundaryIs><LinearRing><coordinates>128.935546875,-14.8810871591 129.001464844,-25.9580446733 137.966308594,-25.9580446733 137.98828125,-16.5730227192 135.3515625,-14.8386115534 136.823730469,-12.3185359417 132.077636719,-11.1568452752 130.275878906,-11.1568452752 130.012207031,-11.8458470441 130.144042969,-12.9189065742 128.935546875,-14.8810871591</coordinates></LinearRing></outerBoundaryIs></Polygon>
</Placemark></Folder>
    </Document>
</kml>

Hope this helps.
