Hi ,  
I'm using topbeat-1.3.1-x86\_64 to connect withES 6.0. I've tried the following to load the template mannualy to ES before start topbeat on RHEL 7.2 using the following :

curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/\_template/topbeat' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d@'topbeat.template.json'

{"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"mapper\_parsing\_exception","reason":"Failed to parse mapping [_default_]: Enabling [\_all] is disabled in 6.0. As a replacement, you can use [copy\_to] on mapping fields to create your own catch all field."}],"type":"mapper\_parsing\_exception","reason":"Failed to parse mapping [_default_]: Enabling [\_all] is disabled in 6.0. As a replacement, you can use [copy\_to] on mapping fields to create your own catch all field.","caused\_by":{"type":"illegal\_argument\_exception","reason":"Enabling [\_all] is disabled in 6.0. As a replacement, you can use [copy\_to] on mapping fields to create your own catch all field."}},"status":400}.

Can you migrate from Topbeat to Metricbeat? We stopped Topbeat development quite a while ago.
