Can you share your packetbeat version and configuration file?
My packetbeat version is 5.3 and the packetbeat.yml looks like

I have used ingest geoIP processor plugin as well as downloaded the database .
Thanks in Advance.
I have used Kibana dev tools to import the below pipeline.
PUT _ingest/pipeline/geoip-info
{
"description": "Add geoip info",
"processors": [
{
"geoip": {
"field": "client_ip",
"target_field": "client_geoip",
"properties": ["location"],
"ignore_failure": true
}
}
]
}
If the traffic is coming from localhost (client_ip: 127.0.0.1
), then Packetbeat is not adding any Geoip location information. It might be that this is your case.
I have quickly tested on my laptop, and it works for public IPs:
client_geoip.location {
"lon": 9,
"lat": 51
}
client_ip 85.xx.xx.xx
Hello
I have installed packetbeats in 2 different servers. I am getting the values for client_ip: but all the IPs are private ip like this ,, 192.168..
Can you please tell me how to get the public ips.
I can see some of the public ip in the dest.ip fields but i am not able to put the dest.ip field in the pipeline geoip-info.
My site is live now but all i am getting is private ips.
Thanks
Ankit Rawat
even i can see it working for the public ip.See the below screenshot.
but i am not getting the public ips in the client_ip field.Please let me know if you need any more information from my side.
Thanks
Ankit Rawat
This explains why you don't get the geoip information, as the client_ip
(192.168.208.81
) is a private IP, not a public IP. You can get geoip information only for public IPs.
Hi Monica,
Thanks for the quick responce.
Can you please tell me how do i configure packetbeats to give the Public ips.
When i browse the site externally (https://hostname.com) i dont even get the private Ips in the discover tab.
Please help me on how to configure it as my site is live and people are accessing the sites by domain name and over https.
Thanks
Ankit Rawat
You can configure Packetbeat to extract the real IP from an HTTP header. You can configure the header in the real_ip_header, and then the real IP will be exported under the real_ip
field. You can use the real_ip
instead of client_ip
for the geoip information, but for that please don't forget to adjust the Ingest pipeline to use real_ip
.
Hi Monica
I am really happy to tell you that i am now able to see the location in the tileMap.
I include the line real_ip_header: "X-Forwarded-For" in packetbeat.yml
and i also adjust the ingest pipeline,instead of client_ip i used real_ip.
And waow i am getting the geolocation.
Thanks a lot.Really appreciate the support and help.
Issue resolved
Thanks
