I am desesperatly trying to get elasticsearch indexing some field in geo\_point format but my template is ignored
Data comes from our fortigate firewall and i'm receiving all the geoip information properly in elasticsearch as expected but \*.location is not indexed as geo\_point
I'm using the following template and according to the documentation it should be applied last
> [@](#):
>
> "logstash": {
> "order": 1,
> "template": "logstash-\*",
> "settings": {},
> "mappings": {
> "tran\_geoip": {
> "properties": {
> "location": {
> "type": "geo\_point"

> }

> "type": "geo\_point"

As you can see there is nothing special about it and it should apply to all index with logstash-\* but that's not the case. I have tried with template: "\*" with the same result.
I have also tried to add _default_ but then the PUT command gets lots of error and can't parse it.
We are using the latest version of logstash/ES.
If anyone has an idea of what i'm doing wrong but i'm struggling with that for days now without any progress :-/

Finaly managed to have it working as i wish and i now have the proper mapping working.
For some reason the mapping would not apply so i had to create a new \_template with the following
{
"logstash-_": {
"order": 0,
"version": 50001,
"template": "logstash-_",
"settings": {
"index": {
"refresh\_interval": "5s"
}
},
"mappings": {
"_default_": {
"dynamic\_templates": [
{
"message\_field": {
"path\_match": "message",
"mapping": {
"norms": false,
"type": "text"
},
"match\_mapping\_type": "string"
}
},
{
"string\_fields": {
"mapping": {
"norms": false,
"type": "text",
"fields": {
"keyword": {
"type": "keyword"
}
}
},
"match\_mapping\_type": "string",
"match": "\*"
}
}
],
"\_all": {
"norms": false,
"enabled": true
},
"properties": {
"tra\_geoip": {
"dynamic": true,
"properties": {
"ip": {
"type": "ip"
},
"latitude": {
"type": "half\_float"
},
"location": {
"type": "geo\_point"
},
"longitude": {
"type": "half\_float"
}
}
},
"dst\_geoip": {
"dynamic": true,
"properties": {
"ip": {
"type": "ip"
},
"latitude": {
"type": "half\_float"
},
"location": {
"type": "geo\_point"
},
"longitude": {
"type": "half\_float"
}
}
},
"@timestamp": {
"include\_in\_all": false,
"type": "date"
},
"geoip": {
"dynamic": true,
"properties": {
"ip": {
"type": "ip"
},
"latitude": {
"type": "half\_float"
},
"location": {
"type": "geo\_point"
},
"longitude": {
"type": "half\_float"
}
}
},
"@version": {
"include\_in\_all": false,
"type": "keyword"
},
"src\_geoip": {
"dynamic": true,
"properties": {
"ip": {
"type": "ip"
},
"latitude": {
"type": "half\_float"
},
"location": {
"type": "geo\_point"
},
"longitude": {
"type": "half\_float"
}
}
}
}
}
},
"aliases": {}
}
}
Request can be closed. Hope this will help some people
