Hello boys and girls,

I'm playing with logstash and sflow codec input

Trying to enrich the data with geoip and get this error:

```auto
[WARN][logstash.filters.geoip][3_sflow] ECS expect `target` value `destination.geo.ip` in ["client", "destination", "host", "observer", "server", "source"]

```

The ip fields in the index are in this format:  
src\_ip and dst\_ip

```auto
 geoip {
     add_tag => "GeoIP-DST"
     source => "dst_ip"
     target => "destination.geo.ip"
     }

     geoip {
     add_tag => "GeoIP-SRC"
     source => "src_ip"
     target => "source.geo.ip"
     }

```

How do I get this to work so it's ECS compatible?

Thanks

Try `[destination][geo][ip]`.

Hi Badger,

Thanks for your help!

I've tried it and the log message complains about the same thing:

```auto
[WARN][logstash.filters.geoip][3_sflow] ECS expect `target` value `[source][geo][ip]` in ["client", "destination", "host", "observer", "server", "source"]

```

I'm not sure what format the ip fields should be in, can't really find an example.

I've tried renaming dst\_ip and src\_ip fields to source.ip and destination.ip - the reasoning behind is that filebeat netflow module uses this naming convention but no luck with that either.

I've seen this post already and if i disable ecs compatibility I'm guessing it will work, but I'd like to get it working with ECS, if possible 🙂

If you set `target => "destination"` then you will not get an error message and the destination field will be

```
"destination" => {
    "geo" => {
        "country_iso_code" => "US",
                "timezone" => "America/Chicago",
            "country_name" => "United States",
          "continent_code" => "NA",
                "location" => {
            "lon" => -97.822,
            "lat" => 37.751
        }
    },
     "ip" => "131.2.88.4"
},

```

I have to assume that is ECS compliant.

I've changed it to this and the message is gone:

```auto
  geoip {
     add_tag => ["GeoIP-DST"]
     source => "dst_ip"
     target => "destination"
     }

     geoip {
     add_tag => ["GeoIP-SRC"]
     source => "src_ip"
     target => "source"
     }

```

However, I must have another issue, the geo ip fields are not showing

Try enabling `--log.level debug`. It may be going through one of the [exception pathways](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-filter-geoip/blob/099f1fdc659d205906cd79487c253609e57eadb4/src/main/java/org/logstash/filters/geoip/GeoIPFilter.java#L196). If the source field does not exist the event [would get tagged](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/geoip-lookup-failure-though-all-geoip-fields-are-populated/195267/12), so I don't think it is that.

Thanks so much Badger,  
I think I might have made an error in the config file

I had

```auto
if [type] == "sflow"

```

in the geoip filter but that type is not referenced anywhere so it was just getting ignored?

```auto
input {
  udp {
    port => 6343
    codec => sflow
    tags => ["sflow"]
    }
}

filter {

      if [type] == "sflow" {

  geoip {
     add_tag => ["GeoIP-DST"]
     source => "dst_ip"
     target => "destination"
     }

     geoip {
     add_tag => ["GeoIP-SRC"]
     source => "src_ip"
     target => "source"
     }

     }# if type sflow
}

output {
  elasticsearch { hosts => ["https://localhost:9200"]
  index => "sflow-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
  cacert => '/etc/logstash/certs/ca.pem'
  user => elastic
  password => "${ES_PWD}"
  }

}

```

You have added an "sflow" tag, but are testing the [type] field. Try

```
if "sflow" in [tags] { ...

```

Thanks Badger, I have a feeling you've originally helped me with this issue years back
