Hi , I am currently using logstash to extract the source\_ip and destination\_ip fields from snort alerts and would like to plot them on a visualization map in Kibana. I read in a separate community post that you have to change the field from the management-\> Index Patterns to ip from string however this option is greyed out. Is anybody aware how to do this please? Thanks ---

If you want to display on a map you can use the geoip plugin to add location information as long as the ip addresses are public. ---
