Hello everyone,  
i am using the wazuh software combined with ELK. I get some ip adress from Wazuh and i want to find the corresponding geolocation. How i can do that. Furthermore, i want to use the anomaly detector in order to find anormal behavior: e.g when a user has always an germany ip adress and suddenly has an french IP Adress. How i can realize it? Thank you

Hi @Vannessa_Kemeni

Elasticsearch includes a GeoIP processor that can be used when ingesting data to get the GeoLocation for an IP address. Read more about [GeoIP Processor](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.12/geoip-processor.html#using-ingest-geoip)

For machine learning, I will direct you to the Machine Learning [Getting Started](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/machine-learning/current/ml-getting-started.html) documentation. That should walk you through building your first machine learning job and you should be able to adapt that to your use case.

Hi @corey.robertson ,  
i have read the documentation but i did not correctly understand it.  
I want to enrich some data, that are already in elastick search.  
when i use this command, what happens? Should I define the file for those i want to add this info or this command add automatically the geolocation to all data.  
PUT \_ingest/pipeline/geoip  
{  
"description" : "Add geoip info",  
"processors" : [  
{  
"geoip" : {  
"field" : "ip"  
}  
}  
]  
}

@Vannessa_Kemeni

Here's a simple example of putting in a doc with an ip, and then reindexing it to a new index using the geoip processor, which will give you the geoip data

```auto
PUT my-index-00001/_doc/my_id
{
  "ip": "8.8.8.8"
}
GET my-index-00001/_doc/my_id
PUT _ingest/pipeline/geoip
{
  "description" : "Add geoip info",
  "processors" : [
    {
      "geoip" : {
        "field" : "ip"
      }
    }
  ]
}

POST _reindex
{
  "source": {
    "index": "my-index-00001"
  },
  "dest": {
    "index": "newindex",
    "pipeline": "geoip"
  }
}

GET newindex/_doc/my_id

```

Hi @corey.robertson ,  
i have noticed that the ip adresses are all private, I have made some researched in the forum for finding how to convert it into a location and i found that.

```auto
 if [client_address] =~ /^10\./ {
  mutate { replace => { "[geoip][timezone]" => "Pacific/Auckland" } }
  mutate { replace .....
} else {
  geoip {
    source => "client_address"
    target => "geoip"
    add_tag => ["nginx-geoip"]
  }
}

```

How i can use it? I don't really understant how that works. Can you please help me?
