Hi,

I am trying to parse my logs via filebeat but getting the error:  
Detected a 6.x and above cluster: the `type` event field won't be used to determine the document \_type {:es\_version=\>6}.

Please suggest how to resolve this.

Filebeat configuration is :  
\> - type: log  
\>  
\> # Change to true to enable this input configuration.  
\> enabled: true  
\>  
\> # Paths that should be crawled and fetched. Glob based paths.  
\> paths:  
\> - /ABC/RT\_XYZ/_.log  
\> - /ABC/ghi/_.log  
\> fields: {log\_type: GA-SAG}

logstash is:

> input {  
> beats {  
> port =\> 5044  
> }  
> }

> filter {  
> if [fields][log\_type] == "GA-SAG" {  
> body  
> }

> output {  
> if [fields][log\_type] == "GA-SAG" {  
> elasticsearch {  
> hosts =\> ["name"]  
> manage\_template =\> false  
> user =\> logstash\_admin\_user  
> password =\> vgh  
> index =\> "sat-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"  
> }  
> stdout {  
> codec =\> rubydebug  
> }  
> }

AFAIR this is not an error, it is an informational message.
