I tried using the \_bulk api with the data provided in sample data section. However the bulk API always throwing error. I know earlier it was working like charm. I used fiddler to call \_bulk api and attached the file. This is specific with the log related sample data. Step1 Error: During the mapping creation this is what i got. Though mapping got saved in index. #! Deprecation: field [include\_in\_all] is deprecated, as [\_all] is deprecated, and will be disallowed in 6.0, use [copy\_to] instead. Step 2 Error: {"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"json\_parse\_exception","reason":"Unexpected character ('-' (code 45)) in numeric value: expected digit (0-9) to follow minus sign, for valid numeric value\n at [Source: org.elasticsearch.transport.netty4.ByteBufStreamInput@2b2d58fd; line: 1, column: 3]"}],"type":"json\_parse\_exception","reason":"Unexpected character ('-' (code 45)) in numeric value: expected digit (0-9) to follow minus sign, for valid numeric value\n at [Source: org.elasticsearch.transport.netty4.ByteBufStreamInput@2b2d58fd; line: 1, column: 3]"},"status":500} ---

It would help if you provided the exact error that was returned. ---

I have modified my question with some more details. I am using localhost:9200/\_bulk call ---

Interesting thing is -\> if i use same lines and past it in dev tool using \_bulk it works.... But its a cumbersome process to load so many lines in Dev tool. There should be easy way out like i use fiddler. This used to work like a charm with 5.4 version but something broken in current version. ---
