How can I put results of Windows updates results per host on a map by location?

I have a query for Windows updates per host. But I NEED to put those on a map. Is it via ''geostats''????

index=* host=* 
sourcetype="WinEventLog:System" eventtype=windows_system_update
| timechart  sum(eval(eventtype="eventlog_Update_Successful")) as Installed 
    sum(eval(eventtype="eventlog_Update_Failed")) as Failed

Thank you,

In this case:
-- | stats count as mycount by hostip Status --

''mycount'' should be the name of the event, right? as Updates?

In order to do that, you need to keep some information that will allow you to map the data. You won't be able to use timechart, which is incompatible to this usage.

You need to turn some information you have into a country name or a latitude and longitude.

Let's suppose there is a field called hostip. You can use iplocation to turn the ip into lat/long and then

 index=* host=* sourcetype="WinEventLog:System" eventtype=windows_system_update
( eventtype="eventlog_Update_Successful" OR eventtype="eventlog_Update_Failed")
| eval Status=if(eventtype="eventlog_Update_Successful","Installed","Failed")
| stats  count as mycount by hostip Status
| rename COMMENT as "The above flattens the data"

| rename COMMENT as "Now we map it."
| iplocation hostip
| stats sum(mycount) as mycount by lat lon Status 
| geostats sum(mycount) as count by Status

Here's some run-anywhere test data to play with ...

| makeresults 
| eval mydata="Failed,31.31.191.255,3 Failed,221.192.199.49,7 Installed,31.31.191.255,5 Installed,221.192.199.49,2"
| makemv mydata
| mvexpand mydata
| makemv delim="," mydata
| eval cs_username=mvindex(mydata,0)
| eval c_ip=mvindex(mydata,1)
| eval {cs_username} = mvindex(mydata,2)
| rename c_ip as hostip
| fields - mydata
| rename COMMENT as "The above just creates test data"

| stats sum(*) as * by hostip
| untable hostip Status mycount
| rename COMMENT as "The above flattens the data"

| rename COMMENT as "Now we map it."
| iplocation hostip
| stats sum(mycount) as count by lat lon Status 
| geostats sum(count) as count by Status
