I am trying to plot data that has been enriched in a logstash pipieline with GeoMind DB. I am however unable to see this index in the maps tab of Kibana. Data from this index is visible and searchable in the discover tab. Index has country names listed and is created under "index patterns".

Any idea why it is not visible under maps while creating a new layer?

What does the [elasticsearch mapping](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/mapping.html) looking like for the index? Ensure the geospatial field is indexed as [geo\_point](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/geo-point.html) type.

Hi, this is a CSV file that I have enriched using Logstash pipeline. I am however unable to find the field "geo\_point". Is there an API call output that I can provide for better assistance?

geo\_point is the elasticsearch mapping type. The field will be called something different in your CSV. You will need to make sure lat/lon is contained in the document and that the field is mapped as geo\_point.

I am unable to see this, is this any diagnostic output I can give you to help me better? Maybe schema of the index?

You can view the schema for the index via the [\_mapping](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-get-mapping.html) API.

In Kibana, go to dev tools and enter the line `GET /twitter/_mapping` where `twitter` is the name of your index

Your location fields are stored as floats.

```auto
            "location" : {
              "properties" : {
                "lat" : {
                  "type" : "float"
                },
                "lon" : {
                  "type" : "float"
                }
              }
            },

```

This needs to be mapped as geo\_point and look like the below instead. See [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/geo-point.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/geo-point.html) for help on setting up location as a geo\_point

```auto
            "location" : {
              "type" : "geo_point"
            },

```

Once again thank you very much for hand-holding. I appreciate the support immensely.

I truly love Elastic stack and how it is progressing, especially towards systems security. I am amazed at your deployment at Oxford university where I am studying.

Thank you very much for the assistance and the passionate work. 🙂
