Kibana visualisation with room plans needs data, e.g. from devices in a building. But the data has to come from somewhere…

One way to do this is simply to use the GeoIP processor from Elastic Search. Unfortunately, it is not possible to create your own database with the supplied on-board tools. I have therefore written a small tool for this purpose.

The tool can be used to create a database that assigns the coordinates of devices within a building to a log entry during indexing, for example. Examples of its use can be found at GitHub.
