My Grok pattern:

filter {

remove\_tag =\> ["\_grokparsefailure"]

remove\_field =\> [message]  
}  
if [response] == "101" {

```
date {
    match => ["timestamp", "dd/MMM/yyyy:HH:mm:ss Z"]
    target => "@timestamp"
    }

geoip {
  source => "clientip"
  target => "geoip"
  database => "/usr/share/GeoIP/GeoLite2-City.mmdb"

```

}  
geoip {  
source =\> "clientip"  
target =\> "geoip"  
database =\> "/usr/share/GeoIP/GeoLite2-ASN.mmdb"  
add\_field =\> ["[geoip][coordinates]", "%{[geoip][longitude]}" ]

}  
mutate {

remove\_tag =\> ["\_geoip\_lookup\_failure"]  
remove\_field =\> ["@version", "auth", "offset", "verb"]  
}  
}  
else {

```
    drop {}
    }	

```

}  
}

output {

if [logz] == "ffmpeglogz" {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> ["51.78.182.102:9200"]  
index =\> "ffmpeglogs-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"  
}  
file {  
path =\> "/var/log/logstash/ffmpeglogs.log"  
}  
}  
}

Could you please help me.
