Cannot figure out how to add automatic timestamps when a document is indexed

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I've been trying a PUT to an existing index /solink_health_monitor/_mapping
to add a timestamp field to the document _source

"mappings": {
"stats": {
"properties": {
"@timestamp:": {
"enabled": true,
"store": true
}
}
}
}

I get the following response

{
"error": "ActionRequestValidationException[Validation Failed: 1: mapping
type is missing;]",
"status": 400
}

Try this:

{
"template" : "whateverindex-*",
"mappings" : {
"events" : {
"_timestamp" : { "enabled" : true },
}
}
}

Got the posting of the mapping figured out I think I was just missing some
outter braces on my request body.

now enabling _timestamp on the _source of my document type still didn't
enable automatic timestamps being added to the documents in Elasticsearch
1.4.1.

My mapping now looks like:

{

  • solink_health_monitor:
    {
    • mappings:
      {
      • stats:
        {
        • _timestamp:
          {
          • enabled: true,
          • store: true
            },
        • properties:
          {

          • numChanges:
            {

            - type: "long"
            },
        • tag:
          {
          • type: "string"
            }
            }
            }
            }

}
}
