Hi, I installed logstash v2.3.4 on Ubuntu 14.04 via `apt-get` According to the documentation: > Logstash releases ship with the GeoLiteCity database made available from Maxmind I do see a `GeoLiteCity-2013-01-18.dat` file under the `vendor/bundle/jruby...` folder however when I apply a geoip filter to my route, I don't get any geoip information in my resulting documents. I had to actually download the `GeoLiteCity.dat` file from Maxmind, and then configure it in my `geoip` filter using the `database` key. Is this a problem with the packaged GeoLiteCity database being too old and not having information on my IP? Or is this a problem with the geoip filter not finding it's pre-installed database? If the latter, why wouldn't a current build of logstash use a more current version of the GeoLiteCity database? ---

It'd complain if it wasn't able to open it. > [@ctataryn](#): > > If the latter, why wouldn't a current build of logstash use a more current version of the GeoLiteCity database? Can't comment to that, but please do raise an issue against the plugin on GH 🙂 ---
