Geomap Panel
In versions of Grafana > 8, Worldmap has been renamed to and requires a few additional parameters to properly render data from your Graphite metrics. This example shows how to use the built-in Gazetteer for US states but you can also lookup coordinates by country, or define coordinates:
Add a Reduce transformation to the query:
Mode: Series to Rows
Calculations: Total
Update map layers in panel edit mode:
Location Mode: Lookup
Lookup Field: Field
Gazetteer: USA States
Worldmap Panel (deprecated)
Data points are linked to locations on the map by matching part of the metric name to a key in the set of ‘Location Data’.
Included location data:
Countries (2 letter codes)
Countries (3 letter codes)
US states
This works by matching country codes (like US or GB or FR) or US state codes (TX or NY) to a node or a wildcard in a metric namespace. If there is a match in the list of countries or states then a circle will be drawn at the location.
The size of the circle depends on the value of the matched metric. Circle size is relative e.g. if you have 3 countries with values 1, 2, and 3 or 100, 200, and 300 then you will get one small circle, one medium circle, and one large circle.
Use the aliasByNode function to point to the field containing the country code: aliasByNode(worldmap-metric.country.US, 2)
Center
This setting configures the default center of the map. There are 5 centers to choose from or you can choose a custom center. For a custom center, there are two fields: latitude and longitude. Examples of values are 37.09024, -95.712891 for the center of the US, or 55.378051, -3.435973 for Great Britain.
Initial Zoom:
The initial zoom factor for the map. This is a value between 1 and 18 where 1 is the most zoomed out.
Min Circle Size:
This is minimum size for a circle in pixels.
Max Circle Size:
This is the maximum size for a circle in pixels. Depending on the zoom level you might want a larger or smaller max circle size to avoid overlapping.
Unit:
The unit is shown in the popover when you hover over a circle. There are two fields the singular form and the plural form. E.g. visit/visits or error/errors
Show Legend:
Shows/hide the legend on the bottom left that shows the threshold ranges and their associated colours.
There are four location data options for the Worldmap panel:
countries
This is a list of all the countries in the world. It works by matching a country code (US, FR, AU) to a node alias in a time series query.
countries_3letter
The same as above, but with 3 letter codes (USA, FRA, AUS).
states
Similar to countries but for the states in USA e.g. CA for California
probes
This is a selection of cities around the world.
Thresholds control the colour of the circles.
If one value is specified then two colours are used. For example, if the threshold is set to 10 then values under 10 get the first colour and values that are 10 or more get the second colour.
The threshold field also accepts 2 or more comma-separated values. For example, if you have 2 values that represent 3 ranges that correspond to the three colours. For example: if the thresholds are 70, and 90 then the first colour represents < 70, the second colour represents between 70 and 90 and the third colour represents > 90.
