!@$#%!#$^% influxdb output plugin

how do i use geolocation? It's setting the values for lat and long, but the autocreated `location` geoip isn't filled in?

geoip {

database => "/opt/logstash/GeoLiteCity.dat"

source => "clientip"

fields => ["ip","country_code3","continent_code","city_name","latitude","longitude","real_region_name"]

}

please use gist/pastebin/etc

given you're a regular you should know that already :)

:)

i thought it was small enough

until 3 other people talk at the same time with small code

it's just polite :)

anyway

i understand

thanks!

does that not work?

so it fills in all the good fields, but the "location" field is somehow supposed to be auto generated? i dont understand

cause you are specifying the fields it doesn't create it

so you need to add it to that array

"location" is not an option for geoip plugin

<http://tinyurl.com/ho4pkef>; (at gist.github.com)

this is what it creates

i updated the gist with my mapping, logstash and a sample

its the generic geoip logstash mapping

For the built-in GeoLiteCity database, the following are available: city_name, continent_code, country_code2, country_code3, country_name, dma_code, ip, latitude, longitude, postal_code, region_name and timezone.

I must specify I am using LS1.5

i wonder if i need to create some kind of a [lat,long] field and call it location?

janzo: you're specifically telling it not to create a location with your "fields" argument

i understand that. this version doesnt have that as an option

doesn't have ... location as an option?
