Hello,

I am trying to use the maps visualization in kibana with the geo\_ip but the maps dashboard dont know where are the fields of geo\_ip.

In logstash I use the geo\_ip in filter like:

```auto
geoip{
                        source => "client_ip"
                }

```

In Kibana I create and map the field location to the type geo\_point:

```auto
"location": {
          "type": "geo_point"
        },

```

with the debug print of logstash I can see the info of the function geo\_ip :

```auto
"geoip" => {,
                             "country_code2" => "EN",,
                               "region_code" => "12",,
                                        "ip" => "95.55.55.55",,
                               "postal_code" => "2336-003",,
                                 "city_name" => "Parede",,
                                  "timezone" => "Europe/Paris",,
                                  "latitude" => 31.6928,,
                              "country_name" => "France",,
                               "region_name" => "Paris",,
                            "continent_code" => "EU",,
                             "country_code3" => "PT",,
                                  "location" => {,
                                                  "lat" => 31.6928,,
                                                  "lon" => -10.3541,
                                                },,
                                  "longitude" => -10.3541,
                          },,

```

What I have to do to maps recognize the geoip info?

Thank you
