Hello,
I saw a lot of questions and solutions for this issue in the forums, but no one of them solves my problem so I decided to ask.
My question is about the geo\_point, Kibana is telling this message when I'm trying to create a title map:
`index pattern does not contain any of the following field types: geo_point`
And why I'm asking than in the Logstash forum? because I think the problem are in the Logstash side.
my pattern looks like this:
```auto
filter {
if [type] == "nginx-access" {
grok {
patterns_dir => ["/opt/logstash/patterns"]
match => ["message" , "%{NGINXACCESS}"]
overwrite => ["message"]
}
geoip {
source => "clientip"
add_field => ["[geoip][location]", "%{longitude}" ]
add_field => ["[geoip][location]", "%{latitude}" ]
}
date {
match => ["timestamp" , "dd/MMM/YYYY:HH:mm:ss Z"]
}
mutate {
convert => ["response", "integer"]
convert => ["bytes", "integer"]
convert => ["responsetime", "float"]
convert => ["[geoip][location]", "float" ]
}
useragent {
source => "agent"
}
}
}
output {
if [type] == "nginx-access" {
elasticsearch {
hosts => ["elasticsearch:9200"]
index => "nginx-access-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
template_name => "logstash"
}
}
}
```
The geoip filter is working nicely because the tag `_geoip_lookup_failure` is not appearing in the trace logs that have a correct IP.
I tried with and without the lines:
```auto
add_field => ["[geoip][location]", "%{longitude}" ]
add_field => ["[geoip][location]", "%{latitude}" ]
convert => ["[geoip][location]", "float" ]
```
Also with and without
```auto
template_name => "logstash"
```
any hint about why geo\_poin is not in the index?
PS: other simple question there is a simple way to block the geoip filter if the IP is from localhost?
UPDATE: if I don't use the custom index and I use the default index it works good, so I think is some trouble with the template\_name, but not idea what is the problem.

Not the template name but the template pattern. The default index template that ships with Logstash matches indexes named logstash-\*. You have to supply another index template that matches your indexes (or manage the templates completely outside Logstash).

Ok thanks for the hint.
I'm reading this documentation [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-templates.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-templates.html), but still have some doubts, there is an easy way to propagate the template pattern of logstash to the other indexes? so I don't need to define the template\_name? is possible to add in the template field a wildcard or something like this?

Sorry, I don't understand the question.

Ok, let check If I can explain it in another way.
Is a way to tell to the logstash template pattern that not only match the index `lostash-*`, also my customs indexes?
like:
```auto
PUT _template/logstash
{
"template": "*",
}
```

Oh. Sure, you can configure the template pattern to match all indexes as in your example, but I don't think you can say "logstash-\* _and_ otherindex-\*". Then you need to install two different templates.
