Hello everyone,

I'm trying to use the geo\_ip filter on my logstash, but it is not working.

When I try to create the map, this error appears:  
"Index pattern does not contain any geospatial fields"

The problem is that the location is not geo\_point type and I got stuck there.

```auto
"geoip" : {
          "properties" : {
            "city_name" : {
              "type" : "text",

                  "type" : "keyword",
                  "ignore_above" : 256
                }
              }
            },
            "timezone" : {

                  "type" : "keyword",
                  "ignore_above" : 256
                }
              }
            }
          }

```

I need to "change" the field type, but I don't know how to continue.  
I would really appreciate your help.

I'm adding my logstash config:

```auto
input {
  beats {
     port => 5044
  }
}

filter {

  grok {
     match => ["message", "%{IP:client_ip} %{USER:ident} %{USER:auth} \[%{HTTPDATE:apache_timestamp}\] \"%{WORD:method} /%{NOTSPACE:request_page} HTTP/%{NUMBER:http_versi>
  }
  geoip {
     source => "client_ip"
  }
}

output {
  elasticsearch {
    hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
    index => "apache-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
  }
}

```

Thanks!
