Ok that's probably why it's generating the error then.

You might want to look at [GeoIP processor | Elasticsearch Guide [8.3] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/geoip-processor.html#manually-update-geoip-databases) and disable it, if you're not using it all.
