Hi,

Three of my events are missing in Elastic search. I found the following warning in the Logstash log:

`[WARN][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch] Could not index event to Elasticsearch.`

In the first event the IP is: `73.112.77.205` The error reason"=\>"`illegal latitude value [-97.822]` The real latitude is: `40.6221`

In the second event the IP is: `98.200.8.132` The error reason"=\>"`illegal latitude value [-95.4692]` The real latitude is: `29.7419`

In the third event the IP is: `73.91.231.150` The error reason"=\>`"illegal latitude value [-93.902]` The real latitude is: `32.2669`

Any idea or direction what to check?

Regards,  
Sharon.

I understand that the latitude and longitude Actually `were swap`. Looking on the Logstash output , I see the events are in the right order:

"ip" =\> "98.200.8.132",  
**"latitude" =\> 30.2264,**  
"continent\_code" =\> "NA",  
"city\_name" =\> "Conroe",  
"country\_code2" =\> "US",  
"country\_name" =\> "United States",  
"dma\_code" =\> 618,  
"country\_code3" =\> "US",  
"region\_name" =\> "Texas",  
"location" =\> [  
[0] -95.4692,  
[1] 30.2264  
],  
"postal\_code" =\> "77384",  
**"longitude" =\> -95.4692,**  
"region\_code" =\> "TX"

What is wrong?

Thanks  
Sharon
