Hi there,

I usually create index pattern started with **logstash-** , it was fine.  
But now I can not create index pattern start with **logstash-**.  
I did kibana dev console like

> PUT logstash-testing123

then what i got response is that

> {  
> "error": {  
> "root\_cause": [  
> {  
> "type": "mapper\_parsing\_exception",  
> "reason": "No handler for type [string] declared on field [@version]"  
> }  
> ],  
> "type": "mapper\_parsing\_exception",  
> "reason": "Failed to parse mapping [_default_]: No handler for type [string] declared on field [@version]",  
> "caused\_by": {  
> "type": "mapper\_parsing\_exception",  
> "reason": "No handler for type [string] declared on field [@version]"  
> }  
> },  
> "status": 400  
> }

i don't know how to investigate on it.  
kindly advise to me
