It looks like Logstash is supporting GeoIP. However, we would like to use the free IP2Location LITE database in Logstash.

Is there any 3rd party plug-in available?

But I don't know if that format is supported.

This is the filter using GeoLite2.

I'm looking for filter using IP2Location LITE which I found the accuracy is higher.

We don't have one.

If we want to build one our own, where should we start?

I don't know that, but it'd be an interesting process 😉

[https://maxmind.github.io/MaxMind-DB/](https://maxmind.github.io/MaxMind-DB/) seems like it could be a good starting point.
