Elasticsearch > logstash > Elasticsearch failing - illegal latitude value

[JeremyinNC (Jeremy Page)]

Dumping from an ES 1.7.6 server to 2.4.4 with the logstash elasticsearch input I see the following message for the majority of my documents:

"status"=>400, "error"=>{"type"=>"mapper_parsing_exception", "reason"=>"failed to parse", "caused_by"=>{"type"=>"illegal_argument_exception", "reason"=>"illegal latitude value [-98.92457739999999] for pin.location"}}}},

I've tried truncating these values using the following but still get the same message:

truncate {
    length_bytes => 4
    fields => "[pin][location][lat]"
        }

I've tried truncating pin.location as well but that seems to have no effect.

I don't mind losing some accuracy if I can get these events in but I'm at a loss how to get them in there.

You've probably mixed up the order of longitude and latitude. Latitudes are always in the [-90, 90] range but longitudes are in [-180, 180].

Yes, that was it. Somehow the service that's passing it had them swapped.
