Hi, I'm a newbie for ELK.
I want to add some custom geo search functions to my program. How do I filter custom lat and lng (now i have %{lat} and %{lng}) into elasticsearch geo\_type formated data so that I can visualize in Kibana4 tile map?

It needs to be a single field for ES to be able to read it.

It seems kibana 4 tile map views only show ES "geo\_point" type points. The float array which works with Bettermap now is not working with kibana4 tile map. So how do i add a geo\_point type field from logstash?

Take a look at [Set geo location from coodinates](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/set-geo-location-from-coodinates/2762/4?u=warkolm)

It is cycled out.
Is it possible to get geo\_point data in Elasticsearch using logstash creting new index?
