Hi Guys,

I have two Elasticsearh cluster with different versions (7.15.1 and 8.2.2)  
I have other server running a packetbeat (during tests, a installed different version of packetbeat)

Why when i set in packetbeat configuration file to connect to elasticsearch server 8.2.2, the indexes created are "data stream" and when I set to connect to elasticsearch server 7.15.1 the indexes are normal (they aren't "data stream") ?

I am asking that because i dont want to have data stream indexes and I dont know how disable ES 8.2.2 to create automaticaly it

I'm not sure you can change it, Beats v8 uses data streams instead of indices.

This is in the list of [breaking changes](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/libbeat/current/breaking-changes-8.0.html#_beats_now_store_events_in_data_streams_instead_of_indices) for Beats 8.X
