Elastic Observability Engineer Lab 5.4 - geoip database unavailable

Hi,

When I use the GeoIP processor as per step 11 and test the pipeline as per step 12 I see the following instead of the new geoip fields - full test result at bottom of this post.

          "tags": [
            "_geoip_database_unavailable_GeoLite2-City.mmdb"
          ],

This endpoint returns the following, unsure what to do next?

GET _ingest/geoip/stats
{
  "stats" : {
    "successful_downloads" : 0,
    "failed_downloads" : 1,
    "total_download_time" : 0,
    "databases_count" : 0,
    "skipped_updates" : 0,
    "expired_databases" : 3
  },
  "nodes" : { }
}

Below is full response from the test.

Hi @AnitaL ,

it looks like your environment had an issue to download the GeoLite2-City.mmdb geo database. Please try running following command on Dev Tools to restart automatic database download.

PUT _cluster/settings
{ 
    "transient": {
        "ingest.geoip.downloader.enabled" : false
    }
}

PUT _cluster/settings
{
    "transient": {
        "ingest.geoip.downloader.enabled" : true
    }
}

This should fix the issue.

Best,
Andre
