Add Geo fields from Elastic Common Schema #1033

Closed

Description

What are you trying to achieve?

Some observability use cases require localization of resources. Examples are:

  • Observability of mobile devices: Geographically localizing the mobile devices provides valuable insights into how mobile apps perform depending on their location.
  • For applications that are geographically distributed across multiple regions and data centers, the geo location can provide useful insights as well.

Having an additional geo namespace on the resource attributes serves use cases as outlined above and allows to filter and group data by geo locations.

As part of the OTEP to support the Elastic Common Schema (ECS), we propose to start with adopting the rich set of the ECS geo fields as a new namespace in the resource attributes.
