Hello,

I have an issue with geo\_point mapping, it does'nt apply ! geo\_server\_ip.location has a "number" type insted of "geo\_point". 😒

**My logstash filter:**

geoip {  
add\_tag =\> ["GeoIP"]  
source =\> "server\_ip"  
target =\> "geo\_server\_ip"  
}

**my Elastic template:**

"mappings": {  
"logs": {  
"properties": {  
"geo\_server\_ip": {  
"dynamic": true,  
"type": "object",  
"properties": {  
"timezone": {  
"type": "string"  
},  
"ip": {  
"index": "not\_analyzed",  
"type": "ip",  
"doc\_values": true  
},  
"latitude": {  
"type": "double"  
},  
"continent\_code": {  
"type": "string"  
},  
"city\_name": {  
"index": "not\_analyzed",  
"type": "string"  
},  
"country\_code2": {  
"type": "string"  
},  
"country\_name": {  
"index": "not\_analyzed",  
"type": "string"  
},  
**"location": {**  
\*\* "type": "geo\_point"\*\*  
},  
...

This is my fileds and mapping:

Any ideas about this case ?

Hey,

is there an index template for your index naming scheme that configures this appropriately? logstash ships with a standard template, which is only applied for `logstash-` indices... if you renamed you indexes this template will not be applied and you have to put your own.

Hello,

This case is resolved, mapping correctly match on april..  
I have to reindex in order avoid conflict mapping.

(index-2017.03 location:float and on index-2017.04 location:geo\_point)

Thanks.
