You mean it hasn't created the field?

Have you refreshed the index pattern? Can you show a document that has been indexed?

I suspect means that you do not have an [index template](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.1/indices-templates.html) in place that maps `apache2.access.geoip.location` as a geo\_point, which means that the mapping is not correct. You need to create (or update) an index template that provides this mapping, and then reindex the data into a new index so this mapping change takes effect.
