description:
  The geoIP processor `geoipprocessor` enhances resource attributes by appending
  information about the geographical location of an IP address. To add
  geographical information, the IP address must be included in the resource
  attributes using the [`source.address` semantic conventions key
  attribute](https://github.com/open-telemetry/semantic-conventions/blob/v1.26.0/docs/general/attributes.md#source).
