I've put geo\_point in my index template

{  
"mappings": {  
"_default_": {  
"\_all": {  
"enabled": true,  
"norms": {  
"enabled": false  
}  
},  
"dynamic\_templates": [  
{  
"template1": {  
"mapping": {  
"doc\_values": true,  
"ignore\_above": 1024,  
"index": "not\_analyzed",  
"type": "{dynamic\_type}"  
},  
"match": "_"  
}  
}  
],  
"properties": {  
"@timestamp": {  
"type": "date"  
},  
"message": {  
"type": "string",  
"index": "analyzed"  
},  
"offset": {  
"type": "long",  
"doc\_values": "true"  
},  
"geoip" : {  
"type" : "object",  
"dynamic": true,  
"properties" : {  
"location" : { "type" : "geo\_point" }  
}  
}  
}  
}  
},  
"settings": {  
"index.refresh\_interval": "5s"  
},  
"template": "apache12-_"  
}

but still whille loading the index kibana is showing that, there is no geo\_point data type in your index..

@shubhrant can you create an Index Pattern for a single Index in Kibana and see if it works then? I'm wondering if we have a field type mismatch between some of the indexes that are covered by the Index Pattern.
