I've got geoip fields with filter geoip in logstash.

But I can't visualize in kibana

How can I fix this? Any help will be appreciated.

Looks like the `geoip.location` field is not mapped as a geopoint.

Have a read through [https://www.elastic.co/blog/geoip-in-the-elastic-stack](https://www.elastic.co/blog/geoip-in-the-elastic-stack) for some solutions.

Thank you Mark.  
I've read [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/geo-point.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/geo-point.html)  
It seems my filter did parsed the ip, but resulted in a wrong type of data, string instead of geo-point?  
This really confuse me, how can I convert the data type?
