Hi,

I'm attempting to update the index pattern in Elasticsearch with the target geoip I've set in logstash, which is currently:

```
                         geoip
			{
				source => "Remote"
				target => "RemoteGEOIP"
			}

			geoip
			{
				source => "Local"
				target => "LocalGEOIP"
			}

```

And with my index pattern called logstash-syslog-\*, I'm using the below index template like this being sent within Postman to the index.

> {  
> "RemoteGEOIP" :  
> {  
> "type" : "object",  
> "dynamic": true,  
> "path": "full",  
> "properties" :  
> {  
> "location" : { "type" : "geo\_point" }  
> }  
> }  
> }

I have also tried logstash-syslog-\*/RemoteGEOIP/\_mapping but I keep getting errors relating to sytax with the above. I think I'm messing up the index template but I'm not sure where. Any help be appreciated  
👍
