If you are managing this file yourself then you should put it somewhere custom and then set [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-geoip.html#plugins-filters-geoip-database](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-geoip.html#plugins-filters-geoip-database)

I'd still strongly recommend you do what I suggested. If you upgrade LS then chances are it'll overwrite your new file and you will never know.

Yes i applied like this

database =\> "/etc/logstash/GeoIP.dat"

But i'm getting only the fields are [continent\_code, country\_code2, country\_code3, country\_name]  
remaining fields are not available [city\_name,latitude, longitude, postal\_code, region\_name and timezone]
