Hi all,

I am using curator to do index rollover. The problem I am having is that I have a field:

> Location geo\_point

And here is my yaml:

```
actions:
  1:
    action: rollover
    description: >-
      Rollover the index associated with alias 'aliasname', which should be in the form of prefix-000001 (or similar), or prefix-YYYY.MM.DD-1.
    options:
      name: access_logs
      new_index: "<access_logs-{now/d}-1>"
      conditions:
        max_age: 23h

```

When the rollover happens, my Location filed changes to

> Location.lat number  
> Location.lon number

So then my map stops working. Is there a way to force it to use geo\_point instead?

Thanks

This means that you do not have an index template to assign a mapping to the new index after rollover. It is an incorrect assumption that rollover captures and passes the previous index’s mappings.

Great. Thank you very much. Creating templates solved the problem.
