Currently I am using GeoLiteCity.Dat in Logstash. But this Database is not correct. I want to use more accurate database (GeoIPCity.dat). How to configure this?

Have you looked at the [`database` option](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-geoip.html#plugins-filters-geoip-database)?
