Configure WMS map server

OpenSearch Dashboards includes default map tiles, but if you need more specialized maps, you can configure OpenSearch Dashboards to use a WMS map server:

1. Open OpenSearch Dashboards at https://<host>:<port>. For example, https://localhost:5601.
2. If necessary, log in.
3. Choose Management and Advanced Settings.
4. Locate visualization:tileMap:WMSdefaults.

5. Change enabled to true and add the URL of a valid WMS map server:

   {
     "enabled": true,
     "url": "<wms-map-server-url>",
     "options": {
       "format": "image/png",
       "transparent": true
     }
   }
   

Map services often have licensing fees or restrictions. You’re responsible for all such considerations on any map server that you specify.
