I'm using the Logstash Geoip plugin to resolve IP addresses to their geo location. It is working, however, it does not include the city in the result. What am I doing wrong? The output looks like this:

```
  "geoip": {
  "country_name": "United States",
  "continent_code": "NA",
  "longitude": -97.822,
  "country_code2": "US",
  "location": {
    "lat": 37.751,
    "lon": -97.822
  },
  "ip": "8.8.8.8",
  "country_code3": "US",
  "latitude": 37.751
},
```

It seems like it won't give me the city name for 8.8.8.8. However when I'm looking up a german IP address, it seems to be working fine. Is the city lookup somehow restricted to my "german" license?
