We are migrating some data sources across to a new cluster, and we have some wireless metrics that count the number of connected devices on each floor of each building. This seemed like an effective use case for [TSDS](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/tsds.html#time-series-dimension), as the metrics are collected on a time interval and the dimensions can be related to the floor count metrics. However, as a part of collection, we attach a geo\_point location of the building to the document. I can't see any mention of geo\_points as dimensions in TSDS - is anyone able to confirm that we're not able to use this? There are a lot of benefits for using TSDS for this data stream, but also being able to plot the TSDS using geo\_point would also be useful. I guess for now I will just implement as a normal index, but it could be a useful dimension when dealing with metrics. ---

> However, as a part of collection, we attach a geo\_point location of the building to the document. I can't see any mention of geo\_points as dimensions in TSDS - is anyone able to confirm that we're not able to use this? At the moment geo points can not be mapped as a dimension. I'm not aware of any reason why geo points couldn't be mapped as a dimension. I think support for this just needs to be added: > > > Add tsdb dimension support to \`geo\_point\` field type. ---

This answers the question, and I appreciate you opening a feature request. Many thanks @mvg. ---
