[[geoip-processor]] === GeoIP Processor The `geoip` processor adds information about the geographical location of IP addresses, based on data from the Maxmind databases. This processor adds this information by default under the `geoip` field. The `geoip` processor can resolve both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. The `ingest-geoip` module ships by default with the GeoLite2 City, GeoLite2 Country and GeoLite2 ASN geoip2 databases from Maxmind made available under the CCA-ShareAlike 4.0 license. For more details see, http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/ The `geoip` processor can run with other GeoIP2 databases from Maxmind. The files must be copied into the `ingest-geoip` config directory, and the `database_file` option should be used to specify the filename of the custom database. Custom database files must be stored uncompressed. The `ingest-geoip` config directory is located at `$ES_HOME/config/ingest-geoip`. [[using-ingest-geoip]] ==== Using the `geoip` Processor in a Pipeline [[ingest-geoip-options]] .`geoip` options [options="header"] |====== | Name | Required | Default | Description | `field` | yes | - | The field to get the ip address from for the geographical lookup. | `target_field` | no | geoip | The field that will hold the geographical information looked up from the Maxmind database. | `database_file` | no | GeoLite2-City.mmdb | The database filename in the geoip config directory. The ingest-geoip module ships with the GeoLite2-City.mmdb, GeoLite2-Country.mmdb and GeoLite2-ASN.mmdb files. | `properties` | no | [`continent_name`, `country_iso_code`, `region_iso_code`, `region_name`, `city_name`, `location`] * | Controls what properties are added to the `target_field` based on the geoip lookup. | `ignore_missing` | no | `false` | If `true` and `field` does not exist, the processor quietly exits without modifying the document |====== *Depends on what is available in `database_field`: * If the GeoLite2 City database is used, then the following fields may be added under the `target_field`: `ip`, `country_iso_code`, `country_name`, `continent_name`, `region_iso_code`, `region_name`, `city_name`, `timezone`, `latitude`, `longitude` and `location`. The fields actually added depend on what has been found and which properties were configured in `properties`. * If the GeoLite2 Country database is used, then the following fields may be added under the `target_field`: `ip`, `country_iso_code`, `country_name` and `continent_name`. The fields actually added depend on what has been found and which properties were configured in `properties`. * If the GeoLite2 ASN database is used, then the following fields may be added under the `target_field`: `ip`, `asn`, and `organization_name`. The fields actually added depend on what has been found and which properties were configured in `properties`. Here is an example that uses the default city database and adds the geographical information to the `geoip` field based on the `ip` field: [source,js] -------------------------------------------------- PUT _ingest/pipeline/geoip { "description" : "Add geoip info", "processors" : [ { "geoip" : { "field" : "ip" } } ] } PUT my_index/_doc/my_id?pipeline=geoip { "ip": "8.8.8.8" } GET my_index/_doc/my_id -------------------------------------------------- // CONSOLE Which returns: [source,js] -------------------------------------------------- { "found": true, "_index": "my_index", "_type": "_doc", "_id": "my_id", "_version": 1, "_seq_no": 55, "_primary_term": 1, "_source": { "ip": "8.8.8.8", "geoip": { "continent_name": "North America", "country_iso_code": "US", "location": { "lat": 37.751, "lon": -97.822 } } } } -------------------------------------------------- // TESTRESPONSE[s/"_seq_no": \d+/"_seq_no" : $body._seq_no/ s/"_primary_term":1/"_primary_term" : $body._primary_term/] Here is an example that uses the default country database and adds the geographical information to the `geo` field based on the `ip` field`. Note that this database is included in the module. So this: [source,js] -------------------------------------------------- PUT _ingest/pipeline/geoip { "description" : "Add geoip info", "processors" : [ { "geoip" : { "field" : "ip", "target_field" : "geo", "database_file" : "GeoLite2-Country.mmdb" } } ] } PUT my_index/_doc/my_id?pipeline=geoip { "ip": "8.8.8.8" } GET my_index/_doc/my_id -------------------------------------------------- // CONSOLE returns this: [source,js] -------------------------------------------------- { "found": true, "_index": "my_index", "_type": "_doc", "_id": "my_id", "_version": 1, "_seq_no": 65, "_primary_term": 1, "_source": { "ip": "8.8.8.8", "geo": { "continent_name": "North America", "country_iso_code": "US", } } } -------------------------------------------------- // TESTRESPONSE[s/"_seq_no": \d+/"_seq_no" : $body._seq_no/ s/"_primary_term" : 1/"_primary_term" : $body._primary_term/] Not all IP addresses find geo information from the database, When this occurs, no `target_field` is inserted into the document. Here is an example of what documents will be indexed as when information for "80.231.5.0" cannot be found: [source,js] -------------------------------------------------- PUT _ingest/pipeline/geoip { "description" : "Add geoip info", "processors" : [ { "geoip" : { "field" : "ip" } } ] } PUT my_index/_doc/my_id?pipeline=geoip { "ip": "80.231.5.0" } GET my_index/_doc/my_id -------------------------------------------------- // CONSOLE Which returns: [source,js] -------------------------------------------------- { "_index" : "my_index", "_type" : "_doc", "_id" : "my_id", "_version" : 1, "_seq_no" : 71, "_primary_term": 1, "found" : true, "_source" : { "ip" : "80.231.5.0" } } -------------------------------------------------- // TESTRESPONSE[s/"_seq_no" : \d+/"_seq_no" : $body._seq_no/ s/"_primary_term" : 1/"_primary_term" : $body._primary_term/] [[ingest-geoip-mappings-note]] ===== Recognizing Location as a Geopoint Although this processor enriches your document with a `location` field containing the estimated latitude and longitude of the IP address, this field will not be indexed as a {ref}/geo-point.html[`geo_point`] type in Elasticsearch without explicitly defining it as such in the mapping. You can use the following mapping for the example index above: [source,js] -------------------------------------------------- PUT my_ip_locations?include_type_name=true { "mappings": { "_doc": { "properties": { "geoip": { "properties": { "location": { "type": "geo_point" } } } } } } } -------------------------------------------------- // CONSOLE //// [source,js] -------------------------------------------------- PUT _ingest/pipeline/geoip { "description" : "Add geoip info", "processors" : [ { "geoip" : { "field" : "ip" } } ] } PUT my_ip_locations/_doc/1?refresh=true&pipeline=geoip { "ip": "8.8.8.8" } GET /my_ip_locations/_search { "query": { "bool" : { "must" : { "match_all" : {} }, "filter" : { "geo_distance" : { "distance" : "1m", "geoip.location" : { "lon" : -97.822, "lat" : 37.751 } } } } } } -------------------------------------------------- // CONSOLE // TEST[continued] [source,js] -------------------------------------------------- { "took" : 3, "timed_out" : false, "_shards" : { "total" : 1, "successful" : 1, "skipped" : 0, "failed" : 0 }, "hits" : { "total" : { "value": 1, "relation": "eq" }, "max_score" : 1.0, "hits" : [ { "_index" : "my_ip_locations", "_type" : "_doc", "_id" : "1", "_score" : 1.0, "_source" : { "geoip" : { "continent_name" : "North America", "country_iso_code" : "US", "location" : { "lon" : -97.822, "lat" : 37.751 } }, "ip" : "8.8.8.8" } } ] } } -------------------------------------------------- // TESTRESPONSE[s/"took" : 3/"took" : $body.took/] //// [[ingest-geoip-settings]] ===== Node Settings The `geoip` processor supports the following setting: `ingest.geoip.cache_size`:: The maximum number of results that should be cached. Defaults to `1000`. Note that these settings are node settings and apply to all `geoip` processors, i.e. there is one cache for all defined `geoip` processors.
