Hey Guys!

I have a problem with geoip.. I've read all the articles in the forum and the web about this theme, but I can't visualize geoip on the map. I write logstash output to the stdin, too and there I can see that geoip makes new fields, and in Kibana I can see, too, just I can't visualize it..  
The logstash conf file:

```
geoip {
    source => "clientIP"
    target => "geoip"
    add_field => ["[geoip][coordinates]", "%{[geoip][longitude]}" ]
    add_field => ["[geoip][coordinates]", "%{[geoip][latitude]}" ]
    }
    mutate {
                    convert => ["[geoip][coordinates]", "float"]
            }

```

}

but I have another version, too:

```
geoip {
    source => "Source IP"

```

}

So, I've installed the ingest geoip plugin in Elasticsearch:

If I write to kibana -\> console:  
GET \_template  
In the response the originally mapping:  
"geoip": {  
"dynamic": true,  
"properties": {  
"ip": {  
"type": "ip"  
},  
"location": {  
"type": "geo\_point"  
},  
"latitude": {  
"type": "half\_float"  
},  
"longitude": {  
"type": "half\_float"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

I'm not using mapping. Should I? And how?  
How should my logstash config look like?  
Should I have to do something with the .gz files that is in the ingest-geoip directory?  
Please help me! If you have to need more information, I'll send you!

You don't need the `add_field` or the mutate.

What does the entire config look like?
