## `MAXMIND_ACCOUNT_ID`

Option | `MAXMIND_ACCOUNT_ID`
Description | Sets automatic update of MaxMind IP location database
Default | `true`

Controls if LogScale should update the MaxMind IP location database automatically. This can be disabled if that update has to be done manually, by setting this to false.

When auto update is disabled you must write a MaxMind database file (including city information) to the `IpLocationDb.mmdb` file which should be located in the humio data directory. LogScale will check for changes to this file every five minutes.

ini

    AUTO_UPDATE_IP_LOCATION_DB=true
    MAXMIND_ACCOUNT_ID=your-account-id
    MAXMIND_LICENSE_KEY=your-license-key
    MAXMIND_EDITION_ID=GeoLite2-City
    MAXMIND_BASE_URL=http://my-maxmind-proxy.local

By default the MaxMind database will be fetched from `https://ipdb.humio.com/`. These properties allow you to fetch the database directly from MaxMind instead.

### Important

The fetched edition must include city information.

If you're using a custom URL for downloading the MaxMind database you can set otherwise the default `https://updates.maxmind.com` will be used.
