Hi Experts, I have 2 fields in my logs with the name , dlong,dlat and values are like 37.3394012451,-121.8950042724. I want to show them on map in kibana . Please suggest how I can achieve this? Thanks VG ---

To use tile maps in Kibana 4, you need to index the geo field as a geo\_point type: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.4/mapping-geo-point-type.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.4/mapping-geo-point-type.html) ---

Thank you Tanya, Here I have a confusion , as you suggested I have to convert both the geo fields i.e slong,slat which are string as of now to geo\_point type rt? so something like "slong" : {"type": "geoip"}, "slat" : {"type": "geoip"}, Secondly if I convert both the fields into geoip do I need to use geoip {} filter in logstash ? as i want to show src filed IPs on map. Thanks VG ---

Yeah, you should use Logstash. Here is a good thread on this topic: [Displaying Geo data on Tile Map](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/displaying-geo-data-on-tile-map/29528) ---

@Tanya, Thank you for the assistance, I tried following and it works ``` mutate { convert => { "slat" => "float" "slong" => "float" } add_field => { "[geoip][location]" => ["%{slong}", "%{slat}"] "[geoip][latitude]" => "%{slat}" "[geoip][longitude]" => "%{slong}" } } ``` My next concern is how i can get Country name out of it ? Thanks Vikas ---

If you have an IP address, you can get country from GeoIP mapping using a Logstash filter: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-geoip.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-geoip.html) Otherwise, to get country information from the geographical coordinates, you'd need to hit something like the Google geocoding API: [https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/intro?csw=1](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/intro?csw=1) Logstash has an HTTP input which may but you may need to do that mapping outside of Logstash, as I don't believe there currently is an HTTP filter. You may want to ask this question in another thread on the Logstash channel. ---
