Logstash geoip filter error: _geoip_lookup_failure

I'm trying to use a custom MaxMind private IP .mmdb geoip2 database with Logstash. My config is pretty simple, and I'm trying to decode netflow:

filter{
    geoip {
        database => "/usr/share/logstash/geolite2/test.mmdb"
        source => "ipv4_src_addr"
    }
}

{
  "_index": "netflow-2018.11.13",
  "_type": "doc",
  "_id": "UZNKDWcBb3n6NizX4hSC",
  "_version": 1,
  "_score": null,
  "_source": {
    "@version": "1",
    "@timestamp": "2018-11-13T13:38:22.000Z",
    "netflow": {
      "output_snmp": 17,
      "tcp_flags": 24,
      "l4_src_port": 48908,
      "in_bytes": 685,
      "ipv4_dst_addr": "69.26.161.7",
      "flow_sampler_id": 0,
      "in_pkts": 5,
      "last_switched": "2018-11-13T13:38:22.999Z",
      "input_snmp": 7,
      "src_tos": 0,
      "src_mask": 23,
      "src_as": 0,
      "flowset_id": 257,
      "version": 9,
      "protocol": 6,
      "dst_mask": 0,
      "flow_seq_num": 205368180,
      "dst_as": 0,
      "first_switched": "2018-11-13T13:37:22.999Z",
      "ipv4_next_hop": "10.230.2.102",
      "ipv4_src_addr": "10.50.172.174",
      "l4_dst_port": 444
    },

I can see it being read OK in the filebeat logstash docker logs:
"message": "[2018-11-13T11:27:14,041][INFO ][logstash.filters.geoip ] Using geoip database {:path=>\"/usr/share/logstash/geolite2/test.mmdb\"}"

But then everything is being tagged with _geoip_lookup_failure.

I know the DB is valid as I can query using the python API:

import geoip2.database
reader = geoip2.database.Reader('/Users/me/Downloads/test.mmdb')
response = reader.city('10.50.172.174')

response.location.latitude
51.445324
response.location.longitude
-0.443962

response
geoip2.models.City({'city': {'names': {'en': ' FELTHAM'}}, 'continent': {'code': 'something'}, 'country': {'iso_code': ' UNITED KINGDOM', 'names': {'en': ' UNITED KINGDOM'}}, 'location': {'accuracy_radius': 1000, 'latitude': 51.445324, 'longitude': -0.443962}, 'traits': {'ip_address': '10.50.172.174'}}, ['en'])
