Hi everyone,

I'm working with a set of GeoIP data that includes multiple entries identified by `resolved_ip`. I initially tried using the `nested` type to display the data on Kibana Maps, but nothing appears on the map.

I also attempted to use `geo_shape` for location data, but it seems I’m unable to search or visualize locations based on `resolved_ip`.

Below is a sample of my data and the current index mapping I’m using:

Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Here is my data and current mappings

```auto
{
  "points": [
    {
      "resolved_ip": "38.145.60.21",
      "location": { "lat": 33.304, "lon": -111.8478 },
      "city": "Chandler",
      "country": {
        "iso": "US",
        "name": "United States"
      }
    },
    {
      "resolved_ip": "13.233.161.229",
      "location": { "lat": 19.0748, "lon": 72.8856 },
      "city": "Mumbai",
      "country": {
        "iso": "IN",
        "name": "India"
      }
    },
    {
      "resolved_ip": "18.136.235.60",
      "location": { "lat": 1.2868, "lon": 103.8503 },
      "city": "Singapore",
      "country": {
        "iso": "SG",
        "name": "Singapore"
      }
    },
    {
      "resolved_ip": "38.145.60.20",
      "location": { "lat": 33.304, "lon": -111.8478 },
      "city": "Chandler",
      "country": {
        "iso": "US",
        "name": "United States"
      }
    },
    {
      "resolved_ip": "54.254.22.88",
      "location": { "lat": 1.2868, "lon": 103.8503 },
      "city": "Singapore",
      "country": {
        "iso": "SG",
        "name": "Singapore"
      }
    }
  ]
}

```

```auto
PUT /geo-index-geo-shape-2
{
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "points": {
        "type": "nested",
        "properties": {
          "resolved_ip": { "type": "ip" },
          "location": { "type": "geo_point" },
          "city": { "type": "text" },
          "country": {
            "properties": {
              "iso": { "type": "keyword" },
              "name": { "type": "text" }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Unfortunately there is no support for nested fields in Kibana. The issue to track this feature request can be found here

On the other hand, there are multiple answers on the forum on how to approach this limitation. I can share a couple here:

We want to do some research in these data, that’s why we think that Elastic Search tool can help us in this project. I did some tests using kibana and ES (current version). Unfortunately, the results are not helpful. I need your help to be sure that I am using ES correctly. In fact, I created 2 new indices (for 2 patients) containing some nested fields. For example, a patient has differe…

Thanks a lot for the information, Jsanz!
