Hi,

The field [geoip][country\_name] writes a long value in memcached instead of only the string:

" DMZ1:ET

instead of:

DMZ1

I guess I am addressing it incorrectly. Is there any suggestion out there? Thanks!

\<geoip {  
database =\> "/usr/share/logstash/host/networkzones.mmdb"  
fields =\> ["country\_name"]  
source =\> "host.ip"  
}

memcached {  
hosts =\> ["x.y.x.t:11211"]  
set =\> { "[geoip][country\_name]" =\> "%{host.ip}" }  
}  
/\>
