Hello,

I have some

[2019-08-20T13:49:59,076][DEBUG][o.e.a.b.TransportShardBulkAction] [index\_20190820][8] failed to execute bulk item (index) BulkShardRequest [[index\_20190820][8]] containing [416] requests  
org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.MapperParsingException: failed to parse [field1]

I understand what may cause this error, however I have thousands of message per seconds and only a few of them. On internet, I can see people with those messages have a "source" text that contain the source object. I don't have it and I need need it to track the faulty objects. How can I enable it? I have a 6.0.0 ES. Thanks 🙂
