Hi, I want to upload a CSV file into Elasticsearch which has been attached.

![dataset](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/e/d/edf46659f6ab242ca2d8649fca1f9ce6ee30f1d6.png)

The config file is:

 ![config_file](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/d/fda436d7503fb1b0bcc5935e576e1efbcd5ff1bf.png)

However, nothing is uploaded with no error.

Would you please guide me?

Please don't post pictures of text, they are difficult to read and some people may not be even able to see them.

I found the solution. In fact, I had to add the following template to the Elasticsearch via Kibana's Dev Tools section.

PUT \_template/geo\_template  
{  
"template": "XXXX",  
"mappings": {  
"logs" : {  
"properties" : {  
"location" : {  
"type" : "geo\_point"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
where "XXXX" is the name of index in the config file.

There is also no need to the line No. 17 and it should be deleted.

Yeah, Elasticsearch doesn't automap geo stuff natively unfortunately.
