I'm trying to include the Maxmind Anonymous database into my Ingest Pipeline configuration using the Ingest GeoIP processor plugin. Whenever i try to upload the Pipeline configuration i receive the following error:

> {"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"parse\_exception","reason":"[properties] illegal property value [NETWORK]. valid values are []","header":{"processor\_type":"geoip","property\_name":"properties"}}],"type":"parse\_exception","reason":"[properties] illegal property value [NETWORK]. valid values are []","header":{"processor\_type":"geoip","property\_name":"properties"}},"status":400}

My config is as follows:

> {"geoip": {  
> "database\_file": "GeoIP2-Anonymous-IP.mmdb",  
> "properties": ["NETWORK"],  
> "field": "orig\_h",  
> "target\_field": "orig\_h\_geo"}}

I have tried to use different properties (IS\_ANONYMOUS, IS\_ANONYMOUS\_VPN, ...). When I use other databases such as GeoIP2-City.mmdb the Error message at least tells me which values are valid.

Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

Thanks
