Unable to use co-ordinate map function in kibana. It doesn't shows any error. Even in my elasticsearch indices all the fields are available but still still it doesn't plot..I am attaching the scrrenchot of indices and mapping of my logstash.

 ![plot](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/0/6/06527a3a7a1bc56a71c79a48273992847551068a.png)

mapping is as follows:  
PUT \_template/logstash\_template  
{  
"index\_patterns": ["logstash\_squidlogs"],  
"settings": {  
"number\_of\_shards": 5  
},  
"mappings": {  
"doc": {  
"properties": {  
"location": {  
"type": "geo\_point"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

You don't have that field in your data, only `geoip.location`.

How are you sending the data to Elasticsearch?

Well unless you are changing the index name, the default settings should all work.
