Hi, I just installed Kibana Version 4.5.0 so i'm really new with it. I have a graylog environment running elasticsearch 2.3.1. I'm trying to use geographic maps It looks like Kibana is looking for geo\_point where graylog uses \_geolocation. Is there a way to have Kibana use that field for mapping? Thank you, ---

"geo\_point" is the ES datatype that must be configured on a field in order for it to be used by things like Kibana. The field name itself shouldn't matter so long as you used "geo\_point" as the mapping in ES for that field. ---

The docs for the geo\_point data type are: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.3/geo-point.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.3/geo-point.html) ---
