My splunk event data has a mv list of zip codes that I'd like to put on a map but it looks like theres nothing out of the box to do the zip to long/lat and that I need to find a way to lookup the data?

The Google GeoCode app can give you the latitude and longitude for a zip code.

hmm is there no way to shade things in by zip once I have the lat/lon info? I can see I can make a pie chart with a count of things at a lat/lon but I want to shade the zip codes

Splunk natively supports KMZ (gzipped KML) files:
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.2.3/Knowledge/Configuregeospatiallookups

So use this file from the US government census bureau:

If you already know there is something obvious that doesn't work, you should add that to the details of your question.
