Found the error. In my original pipeline-rule I used the "to_ip" function to convert the pattern match to an IP. With this setting resolving the IP to a geo location fails. I changed the rule now to convert the pattern match to a string by using the "to_string" function. Voila... geo location works for all custom fields now.
This is what my rule looks like now: let matcherSrcIp = regex(".*srcip=((?<![0-9])(?:( ?:[0-1]?[0-9]{1,2}|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])[.](?:[0-1]?[0-9]{1, 2}|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])[.](?:[0-1]?[0-9]{1,2}|2[0-4][0-9]| 25[0-5])[.](?:[0-1]?[0-9]{1,2}|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5]))(?![0-9])).*", to_string ($message.message)); set_field("FW_SourceIP", to_string(matcherSrcIp["0"])); -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Graylog Users" group.
