logstash-6.2.4  
elasticsearch-6.2.4  
Here is the filter configuration in logstash:  
geoip {  
source =\> "src\_ip"  
target =\> "geoip"  
database =\> "/usr/share/GeoIP/GeoLite2-City.mmdb"  
add\_field =\> ["[geoip][coordinates]", "%{[geoip][longitude]}" ]  
add\_field =\> ["[geoip][coordinates]", "%{[geoip][latitude]}" ]  
}  
mutate {  
convert =\> ["[geoip][coordinates]", "float"]  
}

And this is the geoip.location definition in elasticsearch mappings:  
"location": {  
"properties": {  
"lat": {  
"type": "float"  
},  
"lon": {  
"type": "float"  
}  
}

If I applied mappings to es:  
PUT my\_index  
{  
"mappings": {  
"\_doc": {  
"properties": {  
"location": {  
"type": "geo\_point"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

Another error happened:  
[geoip.location] is defined as an object in mapping [doc] but this name is already used for a field in other types

This is not a new problem. However I can't find the workable solution from the discussion forum

</div>

Try this

```auto
geoip {
        source => "src_ip"
        target => "geoip"
        add_field => ["[geoip][coordinates]", "%{[geoip][location][lon]}" ]
        add_field => ["[geoip][coordinates]", "%{[geoip][location][lat]}" ]
        }
 mutate {
        convert => ["[geoip][coordinates]", "float" ]

```

It doesn't work.  
No geoip.location field found in the index:

You need to delete the index, create the index with a proper mapping and reindex.
