[Maps] Support for 2.5D & 3D Maps

[alexfrancoeur]

In discussions with users and after reviewing enhancement requests, there is definitely interest in Elastic Maps supporting 2.5D and 3D use cases. While we have no immediate plans to introduce this functionality, I wanted to open an issue to begin tracking these enhancement requests and gather feedback from the community to better understand their needs.

If you're reading this and have an interest in this functionality, we'd love to hear more about your use case.

Have a user/customer looking for something along these lines. He'd love to connect if someone can chat over email with him - ping me for details.

I am looking for data visualization tools that can handle time series and depth-series data, think seismic data and geological data, and tie it to search queries hosted on Elastic. Something more modern and capable than Spotfire, which is the industry standard tool.

Oil/gas/mining, sounds like.

hi , if we integrate arcgis javascript api 4.11 with kibana because it is well managed and having full functional 3D GIS capability.

what should be the best strategy to build and which one is possible using kibana development architecture ?? whether to create custom plugin using arcgis js api for 3D map and custom tools? whether to create custom visualization using arcgis js api for 3D map and custom tools on map like measurement tool ?

without help , working on this will be really difficult because i am very new to kibana development architecture...

Thanks and regards,

You would need to write a Kibana plugin for either creating a new visualization or creating a new Kibana application.

Creating a Kibana application will give you the most flexibility but will require more effort.

Creating a new visualization will provide less flexibility but also require less effort. The Visualize application will already provide mappings for .kibana index (for persisting the visualization state), UI for listing and deleting visualizations, out-of-the-box support in Dashboards, and provide the work flow for creating a new visualization. Your plugin will just have to provide an editor and view for the visualization.

Please see the plugin development documentation for more details
