Hi @jordansissel thanks for your reply.

So the guide I was following is the one from digital ocean (can be found here --\> [https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-map-user-location-with-geoip-and-elk-elasticsearch-logstash-and-kibana](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-map-user-location-with-geoip-and-elk-elasticsearch-logstash-and-kibana) )

Regarding the geo stuff I can see the fields with (?) next in Kibana meaning that these arent indexed (?). Either way the error message that I was getting back was: geopoint was not there. I went over this ( [Geo\_point - no compatible types](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/geo-point-no-compatible-types/32667) ) and also this ( [Geo\_Point Field Exists, But Kibana Can't Find It](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/geo-point-field-exists-but-kibana-cant-find-it/32776) ) but I need a bit more light to understand what I have to do... I can definitely see 'clientip' field since I have already configured some Kibana dashboards with that...

I am using logstash version 5.0.1

For the second problem nevermind I managed to delete the indices and do everything from scratch so it works now. Still I dont have the geolocation though ☹ Is there another guide that I can follow?

Thanks
