According to [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/packetbeat/master/packetbeat-geoip.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/packetbeat/master/packetbeat-geoip.html)

It is trivial to configure the Geo-IP ingestion for an Elasticsearch output, however from the document it is not clear how this would be configured when using Elastic Cloud?

Hi @hilt86,

The GeoIP enrichment happens inside Elasticsearch, not in Beats per se.

The first step will be to create an Ingest Node pipeline, which is documented [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/geoip-processor.html)

Once that's done, then you can configure your Beats instances to output to "elasticsearch" output, via that Ingest Node pipeline:

```auto
output.elasticsearch:
  hosts: ["localhost:9200"]
  pipeline: geoip-info

```

You can enable the geoip plugin via the Cloud Console. Just edit your cluster and then under Elasticsearch settings you will see;

Yes I enabled the ingest-geoip on the cloud console...I also added the

```auto
pipeline: geoip-info

```

to my packetbeat config on my sensor but I still don't see the `client_geoip.location` field in Discover. Would the mapping template already have this mapping or will packetbeat update it accordingly?
