You will need to be a little more verbose here.
What have you investigated? What have you tried?

Lets take an example,
I will install metricbeat in my machine. And using the metric beat am I able to get the geographical location of my machine based on its ip address?

Metricbeat doesn't do that, you need to use Logstash or Elasticsearch with the appropriate ingest pipeline config.

Is there any open source pipelines already available?

Yes, Logstash or the ingest API in Elasticsearch.
