hi guys, I'm ELK 6.3.1 user.
I have question about geo\_mapping in logstash.
I was using logstash .conf file for CSV file and Json template file. (was in 5.2.2)
Below is a part of configuration file.
```
input {
file {
path => "~/*.csv"
start_position => "beginning"
sincedb_path => "/dev/null"
}
}
filter {
csv {
separator => ","
columns => [~, "HV_Lat", "HV_Lon", ~]
skip_empty_columns => true
remove_field => [~]
convert => {
~
"HV_Lat" => "float"
"HV_Lon" => "float"
~
}
}
date {
match => []
target => []
}
mutate { rename => {"HV_Lat" => "[location][lat]"}}
mutate { rename => {"HV_Lat" => "[location][lon]"}}
}
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => "http://localhost:9000"
index => "x10_2018"
template=> "./template.json"
}
~
}
```
my template file "template.json" is below.
```
{
"mappings":
{
"*_2018":
{
"doc":
{
"properties":
{
"location":
{
"properties":
{
"lat":
{
"type": "float"
},
"location":
{
"type": "geo_point"
},
"lon":
{
"type": "float"
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
```
When I was logstash processing configure file with json template, I can make index on Kibana, but cannot mapping geo\_point.
How am I mapping geo\_point use template file?
(not mapping geo\_point result)

The full `location` field should be mapped as `geo_point` and you should not map the individual `lat` and `lon` fields:
```auto
{
...
"doc": {
"properties": {
"location": {
"type": "geo_point"
}
}
}
...
}
```
You can see an example in [this blog post](https://www.elastic.co/blog/geoip-in-the-elastic-stack).

I appreciate your reply Christian.
I did try it a few minutes before, but unfortunately still not mapping yet.
below is modified json
> {

> "\*\_2018":

> {

> {
> "location":
> {

> }
> }
> }
> }
> }
> }
below is same result about mapping failure
If you don't mine, could you tell me how to edit for geo\_point mapping?..

As you can not change existing mappings you need to create a new index with the updated mapping. Did you do that? What is the current mapping for that field in the index?

In my case, deleted exist index (x10\_2018) first.
next I did logstash again same index with upper template. (modified json)
however, I still saw geo\_point mapping not completed.
