Pfelk: Can you set location for "home" IP address instead of using Maxminds?

[fastxl]

Maxmind (GeoLite2) is showing my home IP location in the wrong place. Is there anyway I can set a "home" location using coordinates rather than using Maxminds location?

I don't think there is a straightforward way of doing this unfortunately. You would have to write a script to find external IP addresses and replace them in the the elastic field data with one that aligns more closely with your physical location. I think Maxmind just returns the location values for the IP address queried with no other logic.

The location is based off MaxMinds GeoIP data. You can submit a change with MaxMind via the following link: https://support.maxmind.com/correction-faq/submit-a-correction/how-do-i-submit-a-correction-to-geoip-data/

It's odd MaxMinds webpage finds the location a whole lot closer than the GeoLite2 seems to. I will submit a request to correct. Anyway to test where the GeoLite2 database outside of Logstash or Kibana?

You can input the lat/long into google maps.

Got it. I will submit to MaxMind for a correction. Thanks for the help.
