Logstash 7.1 and _geoip_lookup_failure

Elastic Stack Logstash
1

Hi there,

I'm somehow battling with geoip plugin in logstash in 7.1.
I'm sending data to logstash and I do expect logstash will perform geoip lookup.

The fileds with ip data (ie. destination.ip) are present in the source json as the structure is pretty common packetbeat:

    ]
  },

  ]
}

As I've read the geoip is bundled by default with 7.1 so I just put in the logstash config the snippet below (tried different variants), but all ends up with :

_geoip_lookup_failure

The logstash filter part is there:

filter {
  #geoip {
  #  source => "client.ip"
  #  target => "client.geoip"
  #  add_field => [ "[client.geoip][coordinates]", "%{[client.geoip][longitude]}" ]
  #  add_field => [ "[client.geoip][coordinates]", "%{[client.geoip][latitude]}"  ]
  #}
  #geoip {
  #  source => "source.ip"
  #  target => "source.geoip"
  #  add_field => [ "[source.geoip][coordinates]", "%{[source.geoip][longitude]}" ]
  #  add_field => [ "source.geoip[][coordinates]", "%{[source.geoip][latitude]}"  ]
  #}


  geoip {
    source => "destination.ip"
    target => "destination.geo"
    add_field => [ "[destination.geo][coordinates]", "%{[destination.geo][longitude]}" ]
    add_field => [ "[destination.geo][coordinates]", "%{[destination.geo][latitude]}"  ]
  }
  mutate {
      convert => [ "[destination.geo][coordinates]", "float"]
  }


  #geoip {
  #  source => "server.ip"
  #  target => "server.geoip"
  #  add_field => [ "[server.geoip][coordinates]", "%{[server.geoip][longitude]}" ]
  #  add_field => [ "[server.geoip][coordinates]", "%{[server.geoip][latitude]}"  ]
  #}
  #geoip {
  #  source => "host.ip"
  #  target => "host.geoip"
  #  add_field => [ "[host.geoip][coordinates]", "%{[host.geoip][longitude]}" ]
  #  add_field => [ "[host.geoip][coordinates]", "%{[host.geoip][latitude]}"  ]
  #}
}

while start logstash only says:

Thanks for hints...

[destination.ip] refers to a field with a dot in its name. That's not what you have. [destination][ip] refers to the ip field in the destination object. That is what you have.

Note that geoip will not be able to do a lookup of anything in the 10/8 network since that is reserved and has different locations in different environments. You could build a custom DB if you need to geo-locate reserved addresses.
