I have a field dstip\_geoip.location which contains coordinates however when I go to create a visualization for this data I am unable to select dstip\_geoip.location from the drop down list, I only have geoip.location which produces "No Results Found :(" If I use discover I am able to see my data and it maps it correctly to the location using the dstip\_geoip.city\_name and dstip\_geoip\_country\_name fields.

Hi Frank  
Can you check your mapping of that index. You can use something like this;  
[http://localhost:9200/logstash-0/\_mapping](http://localhost:9200/logstash-0/_mapping)

And you should find a `"type": "geo_point"` for your data. If not, you might have to look into your mapping.
