GeoIP processor / setup?

Elastic Stack Kibana
8

I guess, the usual "turning it off and on again" fix worked as it always does...

I disabled the geoip processor:

curl -k -X PUT "https://localhost:9200/_cluster/settings?pretty" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
{
  "persistent" : {
    "ingest.geoip.downloader.enabled" : false
  }
}
'

Then stopped and started each node, waiting for the cluster to recover every time.

Then I set ingest.geoip.downloader.enabled to null (making it default to true) and the system logged:

Thanks for your help, Stephen
