Kibana won't show geoip field in dropdown - solution
Raw
gistfile1.md

For Kibana to create a Tile map it needs geo-encoded data, which logstash does easily with the geoid plugin, BUT the field mapping in Elasticsearch must be geopoint. Logstash does this dynamically so long as the index being written to matches the elasticsearch-template.json template, which is any prefixed with logstash. Otherwise, you need to update the index field mapping yourself for this to work.
