Geo Location Lookup Script (powered by MAXMIND) -- broken with 6.1?

Love this app!
Worked fine with 6.0.2 -- but broke when I applied 6.1 (build 206881).

"Script for lookup table 'geoip' returned error code 1. Results may be incorrect. "

Any ideas?
If the developers are around -- pretty please fix?

Different results could be different database ages, or different accuracies. Remember, IP to location lookups aren't an exact science - one address can be assigned to different locations dynamically as well.

I think the DB used by the iplocation command is sitting somewhere in $SPLUNK_HOME, forgot where though. Maybe you can replace it with a commercial high-accuracy one yourself.

Same boat at the OP. Trying the suggestion but I'm seeing different results using iplocation. Wonder if it is as accurate as the Maxmind database?

Well... the app you linked isn't marked as compatible with Splunk 6.

As for finding searches to edit, you can use Splunk for that. Call the saved searches REST endpoint in the regular search bar and filter like this: regex search="\|\s*geoip".

Thanks. Just tried it, works well enough.

Bummer though, all that invested time in getting my dashboards and reports created with geoip -- just another thing to add to my todo list, editing them...
