- If cache reaches maximum size, oldest documents are removed (FIFO)
- On graceful shutdown (SIGINT/SIGTERM), the system attempts to flush all cached documents
## GeoIP Enrichment
The application automatically enriches captured packets with geolocation data for remote IP addresses:
**Features:**
- Automatically detects the server's public IP address
- Identifies private/local IP addresses (RFC 1918, link-local, etc.)
- Only enriches remote public IP addresses
- Uses local GeoIP database (no external API calls during capture)
- Adds geolocation data for both source and destination IPs
**GeoIP Data Included:**
- Country code and name
- Region/state
- City
- Timezone
- Geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude)
- Geo-point data for Elasticsearch geo queries
**How it works:**
1. On startup, the application detects its public IP using an external service (ipify.org)
2. For each packet, it identifies if source/destination IPs are remote
3. Remote IPs are enriched with GeoIP data from the local database
4. Private IPs, loopback, and the server's own IP are excluded
**Example GeoIP document structure:**
```json
{
"geoip_src": {
"country": "US",
"region": "CA",
"city": "San Francisco",
"timezone": "America/Los_Angeles",
"location": {

⚠️ **Important Security Notes:**
- This tool captures network traffic and may contain sensitive information
- GeoIP data reveals geographic locations of communication endpoints
- Store Elasticsearch credentials securely
- Restrict access to the Elasticsearch index
- Be aware of privacy and legal implications when capturing network traffic
- Use encryption for Elasticsearch connections in production
- Comply with applicable laws and regulations
- The public IP detection makes an external HTTPS call to ipify.org on startup
- Comply with applicable laws and regulations regarding network monitoring and data retention
