```auto
Could not index event to Elasticsearch. {:status=>400, :action=>["index", {:_id=>nil, :_index=>"rencore-2020.04.22", :routing=>nil, :_type=>"_doc"}, #<LogStash::Event:0x6325d5c0>], :response=>{"index"=>{"_index"=>"rencore-2020.04.22", "_type"=>"_doc", "_id"=>"1NqFoXEBtOBq7OZs9Lnh", "status"=>400, "error"=>{"type"=>"mapper_parsing_exception", "reason"=>"failed to parse field [response] of type [text] in document with id '1NqFoXEBtOBq7OZs9Lnh'

```

I have two different log patterns in my log file and the "response" field in string in one and object in the other log pattern.  
Please I need help. Thanks

We can't tell without seeing what has been sent to elasticsearch.  
There's something wrong in your message field. That's probably the only thing we can tell.
