Hi.  
I'm trying to convert ipv4 into geo location and I want to change database, coz it's setting incorrect location now. I cannot understand how to use/upload custom geoip database in cloud elastic cluster. Because documentation says:

```auto
Custom database files must be stored uncompressed and the extension must be `-City.mmdb` , `-Country.mmdb` , or `-ASN.mmdb` to indicate the type of the database. The `database_file` processor option is used to specify the filename of the custom database to use for the processor.

```

Please help!  
p.s. I apologize for possible inaccuracies
