Hi,

Does the Elasticsearch ingest plugin support the MaxMind GeoIP2 ISP database? I saw that is was added to Logstash a while back ([https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-filter-geoip/pull/111](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-filter-geoip/pull/111)) however when trying to specify it in an ingest pipeline:

```auto
        "field": "nginx.access.remote_ip",
        "database_file": "GeoIP2-ISP.mmdb",
        "target_field": "geoip",
        "ignore_missing": true

```

I receive the below:

```auto
Failed to connect: Connection marked as failed because the onConnect callback failed: Error loading pipeline for fileset ingress-nginx/access: couldn't load pipeline: couldn't load json. Error: 400 Bad Request: {"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"parse_exception","reason":"[database_file] Unsupported database type [GeoIP2-ISP]","header":{"processor_type":"geoip","property_name":"database_file"}}],"type":"parse_exception","reason":"[database_file] Unsupported database type [GeoIP2-ISP]","header":{"processor_type":"geoip","property_name":"database_file"}},"status":400}. Response body: {"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"parse_exception","reason":"[database_file] Unsupported database type [GeoIP2-ISP]","header":{"processor_type":"geoip","property_name":"database_file"}}],"type":"parse_exception","reason":"[database_file] Unsupported database type [GeoIP2-ISP]","header":{"processor_type":"geoip","property_name":"database_file"}},"status":400}

```

Thanks,  
Mike

It looks like it does not support the GeoIP2-ISP.mmdb. Did you try to open the ASN file GeoIP2-ASN.mmdb instead?

We are currently using geolocation database from other service provider [IP2Location Logstash](https://github.com/ip2location/logstash-filter-ip2location) with ISP information ready.
