How are you ingesting your logs into elasticsearch ? filebeat or logatsh ?

Check this [processor](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/geoip-processor.html) to have more ideas

\*Depends on what is available in `database_file` :

- If the GeoLite2 City database is used, then the following fields may be added under the `target_field` : `ip` , `country_iso_code` , `country_name` , `continent_name` , `region_iso_code` , `region_name` , `city_name` , `timezone` , `latitude` , `longitude` and `location` . The fields actually added depend on what has been found and which properties were configured in `properties` .
- If the GeoLite2 Country database is used, then the following fields may be added under the `target_field` : `ip` , `country_iso_code` , `country_name` and `continent_name` . The fields actually added depend on what has been found and which properties were configured in `properties` .
- If the GeoLite2 ASN database is used, then the following fields may be added under the `target_field` : `ip` , `asn` , `organization_name` and `network` . The fields actually added depend on what has been found and which properties were configured in `properties` .

Try this example on Dev Console, you can combine multiple geoip processor to get what you need

```
PUT _ingest/pipeline/geoip
{
  "description" : "Add geoip info",
  "processors" : [
    {
      "geoip" : {
        "field" : "ip"
      }
    },
    {
      "geoip" : {
        "field" : "ip",
        "target_field" : "geo_asn",
        "database_file" : "GeoLite2-ASN.mmdb"
      }
    }
  ]
}

PUT my-asn-logs
{
  "settings": {
    "number_of_shards": 1,
    "number_of_replicas": 0
  },
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "timestamp": {
        "type": "date"
      },
      "ip": {
        "type": "ip"
      }
    }
  }
}

POST my-asn-logs/_doc?pipeline=geoip
{
  "@timestamp": "2020-10-10T10:10:10.000",
  "ip": "196.75.80.10"
}

GET my-asn-logs/_search
```

@ylasri Thank you how should i visualize this for example an ip address in the log matches with the asn so is it possible to create a visualization?

Yes all possible, all you need is :  
1- Create an index pattern  
2- Go to discover to search on your logs you will get ip and asn  
3- You can create visualization (Example unique count of IP per ASN ... etc)

i created an index pattern  
in discover it does show ip and asn

i want to create a visualization matching kibana sample log and the my-asn-log rest is working just fine

The data in `kibana_sample_data_logs` has been enriched using default [properties](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/geoip-processor.html)  
You need to reindex the data using a custom ingest pipeline to add properties like asn ...

Try this

```
PUT _ingest/pipeline/geoip
{
  "description" : "Add geoip info",
  "processors" : [
    {
      "geoip" : {
        "field" : "clientip",
        "database_file": "GeoLite2-ASN.mmdb",
        "target_field": "clientip_geo"
      }
    }
  ]
}

POST kibana_sample_data_logs/_update_by_query?pipeline=geoip

```

you will see a new field added

```
  "clientip_geo" : {
    "ip" : "111.58.155.54",
    "organization_name" : "Guangdong Mobile Communication Co.Ltd.",
    "asn" : 9808
  },
```

yep one step closer but when i try to build the visualization the fields that are added are not displayed inside the table are not being displayed
