I think it's your translate, it looks to be doing what you coded but I think you're wanting this to be a geoip location. se the translation Im doing here, I think this will put you on the right path [Private ip geoip from dictionary](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/private-ip-geoip-from-dictionary/156763/7)

```
destination => "geo_point"
```
