:reason=>"Something is wrong with your configuration." GeoIP.dat Mutate Logstash - elasticsearch

Question

I have the following configuration for logstash.
There are 3 parts to this one is a generallog which we use for all applications they land in here.
second part is the application stats where in which we have a specific logger which will be configured to push the application statistics
third we have is the click stats when ever an event occurs on client side we may want to push it to the logstash on the upd address.
all 3 are udp based, we also use log4net to to send the logs to the logstash.
the base install did not have a GeoIP.dat file so got the file downloaded from the https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/legacy/geolite/
have put the file in the /opt/logstash/GeoIPDataFile with a 777 permissions on the file and folder.
second thing is i have a country name and i need a way to show how many users form each country are viewing the application in last 24 hours.
so for that reason we also capture the country name as its in their profile in the application.
now i need a way to get the geo co-ordinates to use the tilemap in kibana.
What am i doing wrong.
if i take the geoIP { source -=> "country" section the logstash works fine.
when i check the
/opt/logstash/bin/logstash -t -f /etc/logstash/conf.d/logstash.conf
The configuration file is ok is what i receive. where am i going worng?
Any help would be great.

As per the error message, the mutation which you're trying to do could be wrong. Could you please change your mutate as below:
mutate {
convert => { "geoip" => "float" }
convert => { "coordinates" => "float" }
}
I guess you've given the mutate as an array, and it's a hash type by origin. Try converting both the values individually. Your database path for geoip seems to be fine in your filter. Is that the whole error which you've mentioned in the question? If not update the question with the whole error if possible.
