Hello there  
Server info:  
CentOS Linux release 7.7.1908 (Core)  
packetbeat-6.8.3-1.x86\_64  
kibana-6.8.3-1.x86\_64  
elasticsearch-6.8.3-1.noarch

I cannot see the data on kibana when performing searches like this: beat.hostname: zebra.zebra.local, I can with another client with same beats version kernel and OS.

What I see on the logs:

```

```

Compared to:  
`2019-09-26T16:33:26Z INFO Non-zero metrics in the last 30s: libbeat.es.call_count.PublishEvents=6 libbeat.es.publish.read_bytes=2203 libbeat.es.publish.write_bytes=21869 libbeat.es.published_and_acked_events=39`

Im using default packebeat.yml , no special configuration just ES server IP.

Any hint appreciated  
Thanks  
Regars

hi @Kernel_Panic,

from the error `"Mapping definition for [body] has unsupported parameters: [ignore_above : 1024]"}}|"` it looks like the packebeat applied templates are pointing to mappings that do not match your index.  
You could try overwriting the index templates ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/packetbeat/current/packetbeat-template.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/packetbeat/current/packetbeat-template.html)) or reloading them.

@MarianaD Hi  
I added the following to packetbeat.yml and restarted and am seeing the same error, what else can I do? should I restart elasticsearch or kibana service too? this is the server itself, the one hosting ES, Kibana.

setup.template.name: "packetbeat-%{[beat.version]}"  
setup.template.enabled: true  
setup.template.overwrite: true

The only host that is reporting well has this beat version  
packetbeat-5.6.16-1.x86\_64

So it seems there is a version conflicts? server has 6.8 and the working client has 5.6, but the server with the same version level is not working? how can I address this?

Thanks for your time and support.

@MarianaD hello  
Any idea on this? maybe is this a bug?  
I installed heartbeat-elastic-6.8.3-1.x86\_64 and I cannot see any Uptime information on kibana and am still seeing the same warning on the logs, and on discovery I see no information about the host either but what caught my attention is that with version 5.6 I can see the data, I mean , is being ingested.

heartbeat-elastic-6.8.3-1.x86\_64
