I have been using Elasticsearch ingest nodes for a while. For the first time I noticed that I am getting an error on geoip mapping of data. Error is: \_geoip\_expired\_database

Looking into this, looks like if libraries are not refreshed this tag is added. I tried hitting the endpoint manually but looks like the site is down?

[https://geoip.elastic.co/v1/database](https://geoip.elastic.co/v1/database)

Is there a manual step I can do to extend the life to more than 30 days?

Did you set

`ingest.geoip.downloader.enable : false`

In your elasticsearch.yml

If so set it to `true`

Or is it that your cluster can not reach the internet?

There are instructions [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/geoip-processor.html#manage-geoip-database-updates) how to update

I think just doing it manually under the section

> Manually update your GeoIP2 databases

Is easiest.
