ElasticSearch index template from 6.8 to 7.4 need some help

Hello guys/girls,

I am trying to upgrade from ElasticSearch 6.8 to 7.4 and need some help with my ElasticSearch index template.

My current template

{
  "template" : "logstash-*",
  "version" : 60001,
  "settings" : {
    "index.refresh_interval" : "5s",
    "index.number_of_shards" : "1",
    "index.number_of_replicas" : "0",
    "index.mapping.total_fields.limit": "2000"
  },
  "mappings" : {
    "_default_" : {
      "dynamic_templates" : [ {
        "message_field" : {
          "path_match" : "message",
          "match_mapping_type" : "string",
          "mapping" : {
            "type" : "text",
            "norms" : false
          }
        }
      }, {
        "string_fields" : {
          "match" : "*",
          "match_mapping_type" : "string",
          "mapping" : {
            "type" : "text", "norms" : false,
            "fields" : {
              "keyword" : { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 }
            }
          }
        }
      } ],
      "properties" : {
        "@timestamp": { "type": "date"},
        "@version": { "type": "keyword"},
        "geoip"  : {
          "dynamic": true,
          "properties" : {
            "ip": { "type": "ip" },
            "location" : { "type" : "geo_point" },
            "latitude" : { "type" : "half_float" },
            "longitude" : { "type" : "half_float" }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

and I keep on getting the following error

#! Deprecation: [types removal] The parameter include_type_name should be explicitly specified in put template requests to prepare for 7.0. In 7.0 include_type_name will default to 'false', and requests are expected to omit the type name in mapping definitions.
#! Deprecation: Deprecated field [template] used, replaced by [index_patterns]
{
  "acknowledged" : true
}

What do I need to do to my template for it to work in ElasticSearch 7.4?

I have read

https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/mapping.html

Along with a couple of other docs.

I know in 7.4, the removal of types is in place, but I don't know what to do to fix this problem. Feel like most of the docs are going straight over my head.

I had same question few month back when I am upgrading.
