Determine country, city, and long/latitude for an IP address (ipv4 or ipv6). The attributes ip.country, ip.city, ip.lon, ip.lat are added to the event.

LogScale includes GeoLite2 data created by MaxMind. By default, the database is automatically updated if the cluster is running with a valid LogScale license.

In order to use your own MaxMind database, place it in the LogScale data directory as IpLocationDb.mmdb and run LogScale with environment variable AUTO_UPDATE_IP_LOCATION_DB set to false. You must use a database that includes city information (e.g., GeoLite2 City).
