Even though I have done the mapping on kibana still i am not able to plot the geo locations.

@Vikash_Singh1

- what is the mapping of your index-pattern? That `location` field should be a `geo_point` containing a valid lon/lat.
- is there data within the time-range?
- if you open the inspector (`Inspect` link on the top), what does the request and response show? do you get results back from Elasticsearch for that query?

Mapping is as follows:  
PUT \_template/logstash\_template  
{  
"index\_patterns": ["logstash\_apchelogs"],  
"settings": {  
"number\_of\_shards": 5  
},  
"mappings": {  
"doc": {  
"properties": {  
"location": {  
"type": "geo\_point"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

- Yes there are data within the time range and I have increased the time range

- I am pasting the screenshot of output after checking the inspect section

the results for that query are empty. what do you see for the location field when you open up a document within that time-range in Discover?
