Hi, i need some help in getting geographically  
information(country,city,state) from the apache logs which I am sending  
from my server to elasticsearch via fluentd. I am alsousing kibana for  
visualization of the data.

My apache logs provide me the ip address but I want to translate that to a  
location (country, state,city) for that I have found the following database  
[https://db-ip.com/db/](https://db-ip.com/db/) the data needs to be loaded to mysql and I want to  
make a call to join this data. So my question is how can i make joins to a  
mysql lookup table to pull more detail about the apache ip address details  
and translate those into geographical markers. Ideally I want visualize  
this in some way in kibana on a map as well. Any help would be much  
appreciated.  
Cheers,  
Vic
