Elastic Stack Logstash

Elastic 2.3.1, Kibana 4.5
Two fields src_geoip.location, dest_geoip.location are being indexed are not the desired geo_point type, but instead as number. Despite the below:

Logstash Conf file filter section:
geoip {
source => "SourceIP"
target => "src_geoip"
}

geoip {
source => "DestinationIP"
target => "dest_geoip"
}

Elastic document mapping:
"geoip": {
"dynamic": true,
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"ip": {
"type": "ip"
},
"latitude": {
"type": "float"
},
"location": {
"type": "geo_point"
},
"longitude": {
"type": "float"
},
"src_geoip.location": {
"type": "geo_point"
},
"dest_geoip.location": {
"type": "geo_point"
}
}
},

What is your index name?

Then it won't match the default LS template, you will need to modify that one or create your own so that the mappings are applied to your index pattern.
