Hi

I am testing the geoIP. How can I test the geoIP in the map visualization if I do not have logs with public addresses?  
Does anyone one know where can I download some logs, maybe? How can I make the geoIP work with private addresses?

Thank you

Use the Web Logs sample data in Kibana. It will give you logs with GeoIP.

Awesome. Thank you. I tested with the "kibana\_sample\_data\_logs". I wanted to do this to know if I had the "ingest-geoip".

But how can I map the IPs if these are private? Maybe correlating with VPN server? Can you give me any clues?

The elasticsearch team maintains the ingest-geoip processor, you'll have more luck finding people that know more about it in the Elasticsearch part of the forum. i recommend creating a question there too.
