Hi @Abdeljalil_El_Yousso,  
You are on the right track by using geoip filter. I think the piece you are missing is the correct mapping setting. It's tripped me up before as well. Try:

```auto
"geoip": {
      "type": "object",
      "properties": {
        "ip": {
          "type": "ip"
        },
        "location": {
          "type": "geo_point"
        }
      }

```
