What does this error code means?

I recently installed GoogleMaps app and updated $SPLUNK_HOME/apps/maps/lib with the DB11 CSV file I downloaded in IPInfoDB site.

When I tried this search command - "error_code="710003" | geoip clientip" it gave me the above error code.

The current geoip command does not work with the new format of the ipinfodb database. Since they also changed their terms there will be a new version soon which leverages the GeoCity Light database from Maxmind.

I experienced this issue when i moved the app over from a windows to Linux environment. To fix, i simply re-installed the app and everything started running smoothly.

2014 -- same error, I just updated to Splunk 6.1.0 and geoip broke!

Love that app, hope it's updated soon...

Yes, the new version is now released and the geoip command should be way more stable.

Any update on this? The answer says 06 Apr. I'm assuming that's 2011?
