Hello.  
I'm trying to "convert" the geoip.location field from a number to a "geo\_point".  
My index from my test servers is called "test".

When I get this to work, I need to map index: "prod" to the same template.

My template look like this:  
`# curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/_template?pretty' { "logstash" : { "order" : 0, "version" : 50001, "template" : "logstash-*", "settings" : { "index" : { "refresh_interval" : "5s" } }, "mappings" : { "_default_" : { "dynamic_templates" : [{ "message_field" : { "path_match" : "message", "mapping" : { "norms" : false, "type" : "text" }, "match_mapping_type" : "string" } }, { "string_fields" : { "mapping" : { "norms" : false, "type" : "text", "fields" : { "keyword" : { "type" : "keyword" } } }, "match_mapping_type" : "string", "match" : "*" } }], "_all" : { "norms" : false, "enabled" : true }, "properties" : { "@timestamp" : { "include_in_all" : false, "type" : "date" }, "geoip" : { "dynamic" : true, "properties" : { "ip" : { "type" : "ip" }, "latitude" : { "type" : "half_float" }, "location" : { "type" : "geo_point" }, "longitude" : { "type" : "half_float" } } }, "@version" : { "include_in_all" : false, "type" : "keyword" } } } }, "aliases" : { } } }`

Fixed it by creating two new complete copies of the "logstash" template called "test" and "prod".
