Hi Team,

I am unable to create search by using elastic API,  
the same thing is wokring on ELK5 but not working in ELK6.  
Please help.

Please find the below command & error:

curl -H 'Authorization:Basic XXXXXXXXXX' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --cacer XXXX.pem -s -XPOST [https://XXXXXXXXXX:9200/.kibana/search/XXXXXXXXXXXX](https://XXXXXXXXXX:9200/.kibana/search/XXXXXXXXXXXX) -d '{"title" : "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx","description" : "XXXXXXXX","hits" : 0,"columns" : ["\_source"],"sort" : ["\_score", "desc"],"version" : 1,"kibanaSavedObjectMeta" : {"searchSourceJSON" : "{"index":"\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*_","query":{"query\_string":{"query":"\"XXXXXXXXXXX\" AND \"XXXXXXXXXX\"","analyze\_wildcard":true}},"filter":[],"highlight":{"pre\_tags":["@kibana-highlighted-field@"],"post\_tags":["@/kibana-highlighted-field@"],"fields":{"_":{}},"require\_field\_match":false,"fragment\_size":2147483647}}"} } '

Error:  
{"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"illegal\_argument\_exception","reason":"Rejecting mapping update to [.kibana\_1] as the final mapping would have more than 1 type: [search, doc]"}],"type":"illegal\_argument\_exception","reason":"Rejecting mapping update to [.kibana\_1] as the final mapping would have more than 1 type: [search, doc]"},"status":400}

Just to understand what you are doing here, are you uploading a new saved search?

Thanks Mark for quick response,

Yes, I was trying to upload the json of search.  
but the same format which I had used it for ELK5 was working.

Ok, that format is not correct.

You might want to look at the format of a saved search in the newer version and reformat your document.

I just downloaded the same search from ELK5 and ELK6, both are same.  
I have tested by downloading from ELK5 and uploading directly using import into ELK6, it's working fine.  
I am facing issue only when I use curl an upload in ELK6.

Please advise on the error:  
{"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"illegal\_argument\_exception","reason":"Rejecting mapping update to [.kibana\_1] as the final mapping would have more than 1 type: [search, doc]"}],"type":"illegal\_argument\_exception","reason":"Rejecting mapping update to [.kibana\_1] as the final mapping would have more than 1 type: [search, doc]"},"status":400}

I have used kibana saved objects API for creating dashboards and its working.
