Right, MultiDecoder is what you want. Also note that the release binaries don't 
include the GeoIPDecoder. You'll want to build from source with GeoIP.h in your 
include path, and make sure you have the libGeoIP library on the target 
machines.

You should look into using a MultiDecoder, with a cascade strategy of 'all'.

[ProtobufGeoIpMultiDecoder]
type = "MultiDecoder"
cascade_strategy = "all"
log_sub_errors = false
subs = [ 'ProtobufDecoder', 'GeoIpDecoder' ]

[GeoIpDecoder]
type = "GeoIpDecoder"
db_file="/etc/geoip/GeoLiteCity.dat"
source_ip_field="remote_host"
target_field="geoip"

    Hi,

    I have an array of heka servers that would parse my application logs
    and use TcpOutput with ProtobufEncoder to send the produced Heka
    Messages to a centralized heka daemon. The message would have a
    field that represents an IP address. On this centralized heka daemon
    I'd like to do a goe IP lookup on that field and augment the Heka
    Message with that info (which ultimately will be put into elasticsearch.

    Now on the receiving end I have a TcpInput with ProtobufDecoder
    consuming the messages sent from that array of heka servers.
    According to the documentation there exists a GeoIpDecoder, but it
    is not clear to me how I can utilize this decoder for my incoming
    messages from TcpInput since I can only mention one decoder and that
    is already done for ProtobufDecoder.

    Any insight, pointers or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
