From input csv data I have 2 fields of location - lat and long.  
How can I construct a geo\_point location field to create map visualization in logstash config (version 7.6)?

Thank you.

```
filter {

csv{
separator => ";"
columns => ["Province/State","Country/Region","Lat","Long","Date","Cases","Deaths"]
skip_empty_columns => "true"
skip_header => "true"
}

mutate{
convert => { "Cases" => "integer" }
convert => { "Deaths" => "integer" }
}

mutate{
convert => { "Lat" => "float" }
convert => { "Long" => "float" }
}

date {
match => ["Date", "dd/MM/yyyy"]
timezone => "UTC"
target => "@timestamp"
}
}
```

@yassine_belhajali you need to do two things:

1. Define a `geo_point` field in the mapping of the index set to receive this data
2. Concatenate the lat/lon pair into a single field that adheres to one the [five allowable formats](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/geo-point.html).

For #2, I tend to just do something like:

```auto
mutate{
  add_field => {"location" => "%{lat},%{lon}"}
  remove_field => ["lat", "lon"]
}

```

I added location field in the mapping using a template, changed my code like this :

```
 mutate{
    rename => {
	"Long" => "[locations][lon]"
	"Lat" => "[locations][lat]"
    }
 }

```

Then it works ✌  
Thanks.
