Can you ingest geojson thru Logstash for ElasticSearch and Kibana use?

logstash can ingest JSON, and GeoJSON is also JSON, so the answer is yes. Whether that is useable in kibana is more of a kibana question.

My final goal is to use it in ElasticSearch really, Kibana part I am not too worried about. Care to show me where to start or what documentation to look at.

Thanks

If the JSON is in a file then I suggest you start with a [file](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-file.html) input, along with either a json [codec](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-codecs-json.html) or a json [filter](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-json.html) (not both).
