Hello,
just installed last version of ELK and have issue visualizing geo data on map.
My logstash.conf:
```
geoip {
source => "src_ip"
target => "src_ip_geoip"
database =>"/usr/share/GeoIP/GeoLiteCity.dat"
add_field => ["[src_ip_geoip][coordinates]", "%{[src_ip_geoip][longitude]}" ]
add_field => ["[src_ip_geoip][coordinates]", "%{[src_ip_geoip][latitude]}" ]
}
geoip {
source => "src_ip"
target => "src_ip_geoip"
database =>"/usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIPASNum.dat"
}
geoip {
source => "dst_ip"
target => "dst_ip_geoip"
database =>"/usr/share/GeoIP/GeoLiteCity.dat"
add_field => ["[dst_ip_geoip][coordinates]", "%{[dst_ip_geoip][longitude]}" ]
add_field => ["[dst_ip_geoip][coordinates]", "%{[dst_ip_geoip][latitude]}" ]
}
geoip {
source => "dst_ip"
target => "dst_ip_geoip"
database =>"/usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIPASNum.dat"
}
mutate {
convert => ["[src_ip_geoip][coordinates]", "float" ]
convert => ["[dst_ip_geoip][coordinates]", "float" ]
}
```
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts =\> ["127.0.0.1:9200"]
sniffing =\> false
manage\_template =\> false
}
}
the elasticsearch template:
curl -XGET '[http://127.0.0.1:9200/\_template/filebeat?pretty](http://127.0.0.1:9200/_template/filebeat?pretty)'
{
"filebeat" : {
"order" : 0,
"template" : "filebeat-_",
"settings" : {
"index" : {
"refresh\_interval" : "5s"
}
},
"mappings" : {
"default" : {
"dynamic\_templates" : [ {
"template1" : {
"mapping" : {
"ignore\_above" : 1024,
"index" : "not\_analyzed",
"type" : "{dynamic\_type}",
"doc\_values" : true
},
"match" : "_"
}
} ],
"\_all" : {
"norms" : {
"enabled" : false
},
"enabled" : true
},
"properties" : {
"dst\_ip\_geoip" : {
"dynamic" : true,
"type" : "object",
"properties" : {
"location" : {
"type" : "geo\_point"
}
}
},
"@timestamp" : {
"type" : "date"
},
"offset" : {
"type" : "long",
"doc\_values" : "true"
},
"src\_ip\_geoip" : {
"dynamic" : true,
"type" : "object",
"properties" : {
"location" : {
"type" : "geo\_point"
}
}
},
"message" : {
"index" : "analyzed",
"type" : "string"
}
}
}
},
"aliases" : { }
}
}
In Kibana I see the data, like
dst\_ip\_geoip.location 13.133300000000008, 31.23330000000001
but are not shown on map.
Under settings -\> indices i have that fileld as string type and not geo\_point and don't know how to change.
Do you have any idea?
Many thanks in advance.

You need a template in place that defines this before you send the data to ES.
Thus you cannot change it, you need to reindex the data.

Can you please suggest me how to do it?
