Hi,
I have created my index pattern to map my csv file(geoLocation in geo\_point)
'''
**PUT \_template/geotemplate**
\*\* {\*\*
\*\* "index\_patterns": [\*\*
\*\* "flightgeolocation"\*\*
\*\* ],\*\*
\*\* "settings" : {},\*\*
\*\* "mappings": {\*\*
\*\* "properties": {\*\*
\*\* "geolocation" : {\*\*
\*\* "type" : "geo\_point"\*\*
\*\* }\*\*
\*\* }\*\*
\*\* },\*\*
\*\* "aliases": {}\*\*
\*\* }\*\*
'''
I updated my config file and I have made latitude and longitude in float type and put them as a new field (geLocation)
'''
**input { stdin{} }**
* * *
* * *
\*\* filter {\*\*
\*\* csv {\*\*
\*\* separator =\> ","\*\*
\*\* columns =\> \*\*
\*\* ["Airport\_ID","Name","City","Country","IATA",\*\*
\*\* "ICAO","Latitude","Longitude","Altitude","Timezone","DST",\*\*
\*\* "database\_time\_zone","Type","Source"]\*\*
* * *
\*\* }\*\*
\*\* mutate {convert =\> ["Airport\_ID", "string"] }\*\*
\*\* mutate {convert =\> ["Name", "string"] }\*\*
\*\* mutate {convert =\> ["City", "string"] }\*\*
\*\* mutate {convert =\> ["Country", "string"] }\*\*
\*\* mutate {convert =\> ["IATA", "string"] }\*\*
\*\* mutate {convert =\> ["ICAO", "string"] }\*\*
\*\* mutate {convert =\> ["Latitude", "float"] }\*\*
\*\* mutate {convert =\> ["Longitude", "float"] }\*\*
\*\* mutate {convert =\> ["Altitude", "string"] }\*\*
\*\* mutate {convert =\> ["Timezone", "string"] }\*\*
\*\* mutate {convert =\> ["DST", "string"] }\*\*
\*\* mutate {convert =\> ["database\_time\_zone", "string"] }\*\*
\*\* mutate {convert =\> ["Type", "string"] }\*\*
\*\* mutate {convert =\> ["Source", "string"] }\*\*
\*\* mutate {\*\*
\*\* add\_field =\> {\*\*
\*\* "geoLocation" =\> "%{Latitude},%{Longitude}"\*\*
\*\* }\*\*
\*\* }\*\*
\*\* }\*\*
* * *
\*\* output {\*\*
\*\* elasticsearch {\*\*
\*\* hosts =\> "localhost:9200"\*\*
\*\* index =\> "flight"\*\*
\*\* }\*\*
* * *
\*\* stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }\*\*
\*\* }\*\*
'''
But I always have the same error :
'''
**Guinea,GKA,AYGA,6.081689834590001,145.391998291,5282,10,U,PacificPort\_Moresby,airport,OurAirports[2021-05-02T19:45:35,275][WARN][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch][main][6f6097aabf7327a68ae97015b3ece31fcdcae152465b7ff4d6cd4d72dc9e602d] Could not index event to Elasticsearch. {:status=\>400, :action=\>["index", {:\_id=\>nil, :\_index=\>"flight", :routing=\>nil, :\_type=\>"\_doc"}, #LogStash::Event:0x6001a384], :response=\>{"index"=\>{"\_index"=\>"flight", "\_type"=\>"\_doc", "\_id"=\>"qWovLnkBE-V7VJ24f7oA", "status"=\>400, "error"=\>{"type"=\>"mapper\_parsing\_exception", "reason"=\>"failed to parse field [geoLocation] of type [geo\_point]", "caused\_by"=\>{"type"=\>"parse\_exception", "reason"=\>"latitude must be a number"}}}}}**
'''
That say that latitude must be a number but that's a number.
Do you have an idea to resolve the problem ?
