HI,  
In latest version for newly adding indices its failing to map indices and giving below error  
[2018-03-21T00:06:29,854][DEBUG][o.e.a.a.i.m.p.TransportPutMappingAction] [W\_PbdUQ] failed to put mappings on indices [[[mshealthchk-2018.03.21/sgyPprfOQCOIbLbmuhXS4A]]], type [doc]  
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Rejecting mapping update to [mshealthchk-2018.03.21] as the final mapping would have more than 1 type: [\_doc, doc]

What version of Elasticsearch and Logstash do you use? Starting with 6.0, ES is raising errors if there is more than one type in use, see [this doc](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/removal-of-types.html) for details. Do you have anything else but Logstash writing to that index?
