That error message is from elasticsearch. You might get a better response if you move this to the elasticsearch forum.

While Elasticsearch < 7 uses joda time for parsing, Elasticsearch >= 7 uses java time. There are some subtle differences in parsing. In this examples, the month being all caps seems to be the problem. Trying this with Aug instead of AUG works for me.

Feel free to open a github issue explaining the different behaviour between ES 6 and 7.

Thanks!
