Hi, I need to create geoip map but in my mapping field location is float type. I have some issue with create new template. I want to change field type from float to geo\_point. When I try to put new template and delete oldest index. My fields is still in the same type. part to be replaced : ```auto "geoip": { "properties": { "city_name": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "continent_code": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "coordinates": { "type": "float" }, "country_code2": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "country_code3": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "country_name": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "dma_code": { "type": "long" }, "ip": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "latitude": { "type": "float" }, "location": { "properties": { "lat": { "type": "float" }, "lon": { "type": "float" } } }, "longitude": { "type": "float" }, "postal_code": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "region_code": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "region_name": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }` ``` ``` this is how I want it to be after the change : ``` ```auto "geoip": { "properties": { "city_name": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "continent_code": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "coordinates": { "type": "float" }, "country_code2": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "country_code3": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "country_name": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "dma_code": { "type": "long" }, "ip": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "latitude": { "type": "float" }, "location": { "type": "geo_point" }, "longitude": { "type": "float" }, "postal_code": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, ``` My logstash output : ```auto elasticsearch { hosts => "127.0.0.1:9200" manage_template => false index => "%{name}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}" } ``` My template : **PUT \_template/foobar** ```auto { "index_patterns": ["namefoobar-*"], "template": { "settings": { "number_of_shards": 1 }, "mappings": { "doc": { "properties": { "@timestamp": { "type": "date" }, "@version": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "geoip": { "properties": { "city_name": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "continent_code": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "coordinates": { "type": "float" }, "country_code2": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "country_code3": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "country_name": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "dma_code": { "type": "long" }, "ip": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "latitude": { "type": "float" }, "location": { "type": "geo_point" }, "longitude": { "type": "float" }, "postal_code": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "region_code": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "region_name": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "timezone": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } } } }, "name": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "tags": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } } } } }, "created_at": { "type": "date", "format": "EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss Z yyyy" } } } ``` Have I forgotten anything? ---

Did you recreate the index after updating the template? ---

Yes, after recreating index I have still the same mapping. ---

So you are saying that you updated a template in elasticsearch but when an index was created it was not applied? That would suggest that the index\_patterns value does not match the index name. ---

> [@Badger](#): > > So you are saying that you updated a template in elasticsearch but when an index was created it was not applied? That would suggest that the index\_patterns value does not match the index name. I have a few sources I'm sending data to logstash. Logstash creates an index based on the field "name". For example namefoobar-\* , namefoobar1-\* , namefoobar2-\* . I need to update template for one of them. ---

It's works I guess. A field with a type geo\_point is available. Now I have info about Mapping conflict. ![mapping conflict](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/a/faa8cc891f4e394d4a28e2f883fbf2c2e0dee0b1.jpeg) ![coordy](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/c/cc3c6d0b0a3b3f882da77d0da873f7c01ee721fc.jpeg) that's the section of the mapping : ```auto "geoip": { "properties": { "city_name": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "continent_code": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "coordinates": { "type": "geo_point" }, "country_code2": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "country_code3": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "country_name": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "dma_code": { "type": "long" }, "ip": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "latitude": { "type": "float" }, "location": { "properties": { "lat": { "type": "float" }, "lon": { "type": "float" } } }, "longitude": { "type": "float" }, "postal_code": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "region_code": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "region_name": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "timezone": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } } } }, ``` Problem solved after reindexing. Thank you for all the advice. ---
