ok found some command to display template, but which one is causing this problem and how do I find that out and fix it? I am confuse. is this causing problem? ``` logstash-index-template" : { "order" : 0, "index_patterns" : [ ".logstash" ``` ---

May be this log happens when you start logstash? Or the template has been stored using the old field name "template" instead of "index\_patterns". When you GET the templates the old format is read, transformed on the fly to the new version. So you should just store it again using just what you got? ---

It's coming from an existing template or from an application (logstash) which is sending a PUT template API request. ---

When upgrading from 6.2 to 6.6.1 did you look at this post? I'm new at this, Hope this helps in any way possible. [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack/6.6/upgrading-elastic-stack.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack/6.6/upgrading-elastic-stack.html) ---

I didn't upgrade straight from 6.2 to 6.6.1. I did all the upgrade, mostly as soon as it came. as I was new to elk at that time. David, I understand it is coming from somewhere. but I don't have anywhere reference of template [root@ ~]# cd /etc/logstash/ [root@ logstash]# grep -i template \* [root@ logstash]# grep -i template _/_ [root@ logstash]# grep -i template _/_/\* Then I ran GET /\_template/\*?pretty and look for template, found seven reference but they all are "dynamic\_templates" Then search for patterns and found some. But do not know what this means, do not even know what this template means and where it comes or how do I fix it. or do I even have to worry about it or not Found three such reference "patterns" ``` "security-index-template" : { "order" : 1000, "index_patterns" : [ ".security-*" ], "settings" : { "index" : { "format" : "6", "analysis" : { "filter" : { "email" : { "type" : "pattern_capture", "preserve_original" : "true", "patterns" : [ "([^@]+)", "(\\p{L}+)", "(\\d+)", "@(.+)" ] } }, ``` ---

I see. Can you share the whole output of the `GET /_template/` call? You can share it on [gist.github.com](http://gist.github.com). ---
