How to plot data on the Splunk Map from lookup data using Country Name, Country Code, City Name but not IP?

[DanielFordWA]

I have a system that requires authentication so each user has a unique identifier.

I have a lookup to enrich users that can return the "Location Country" or "Location Region" or ISO country codes.

I would like to plot data against these users actions on the Splunk map. I do not have access to the users IP address.

I've looked around for a while but have no idea how to do this, can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Dan

Edit: for clarification... is there a way I can take the ISO country codes, or city names and look them up to produce a longitude and latitude, then use that in the maps?

It would seem like a trick has been missed if you cant convert ISO country codes this way.

Ok I found this.

https://opendata.socrata.com/dataset/Country-List-ISO-3166-Codes-Latitude-Longitude/mnkm-8ram

I hoped Splunk could do this without adding another lookup.

Cheers,

Dan

Hello! How did you resolve this? I'm trying to visualize the data per cities in a map and I'm not achieving it 😞

Thank you!

As per my knowledge you need latitude and longitude to plot points on map. With out these it is not possible.
