I would like to create a index/type/mapping manually in Elastic and post the data into it via custom script. I could be able to view the data perfectly in Kibana 3 without any problem.

But when I migrate the kibana 3 to Kibana 4. geoip is not showing mean, not able to view the date on map view. Can someone please share how do i create the pattern in ELS to populate the Data on KIbana 4 ?.

Also please share any link or any example PUT methods.

You need to map the field for KB4, there's a number of other topics on this so I'd encourage you to do a forum search 🙂

Thanks for your reply. I had search forums. But couldn't find an exact method to enable it. If you can, please share the option or link to me. That would be helpful to me
