Logstash 7.6 how to create geo_point field

[zozo6015 (Peter)]

Hello,

I am using the geoip filter in order to do some geoip lookup and I would like to be able to use the kibana 7.6 maps to get data into the maps. The geoip lookup seam to be working however there is no geo_point type field therefore the maps cannot recognize the data from the index.

The logstash7.6 code looks pretty simple:

geoip {
  source => "src.ip"
  target => "location"
}

The output seam to be OK as well:

"location" => {
  "longitude" => -77.0428,
  "location" => {
    "lon" => -77.0428,
    "lat" => -12.0464
   },
   "region_code" => "LMA",
   "timezone" => "America/Lima",
   "country_code2" => "PE",
   "latitude" => -12.0464,
   "continent_code" => "SA",
   "ip" => "some ip address",
   "country_code3" => "PE",
  "country_name" => "Peru",
  "city_name" => "Lima",
  "region_name" => "Lima"
},

However in kibana I cannot see the index pattern when I try to add a new document layer:

I have tried creating a mapping but using kibana dev tool but I am getting the following errors:

PUT buyldn-*/_mapping/my_type
{
  	"my_type": {
  		"properties": {
    		"location": {
    			"type": "geo_point"
    		}
    	}
    }
 }

{
  "error" : {
    "root_cause" : [
      {
        "type" : "illegal_argument_exception",
        "reason" : "Types cannot be provided in put mapping requests, unless the include_type_name parameter is set to true."
      }
    ],
    "type" : "illegal_argument_exception",
    "reason" : "Types cannot be provided in put mapping requests, unless the include_type_name parameter is set to true."
  },
  "status" : 400
}

Any idea how to make it work?

Any idea how to make it work?

I would try removing the "my_type": {} wrapper and just keep "properties".

I get the same error. Most probably because elasticsearch has removed the type field support.

"lon" => -77.0428,

I seam to be able to add a mapping via:

PUT buyldn-2020.02.26
{
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "location": {
        "type": "geo_point"
      }
    }
  }
}
