We have log documents that contain IP addresses and this data is already saved in an Elastic index. Can we make use of a custom analyzer to take the IP Address and let us get the geographical data from the IP addresses? I know there's a geoip filter in Logstash, but our data is already in Elastic. How do we create the lat and lng points from our pre-existing ip addresses? Thanks! ---

You can define an ingest pipeline with a geoip processor and call this pipeline from the reindex API. As you need to reindex. ---
