Good afternoon, I'm having problems with logstash when putting a template file to perform a mapping. in my logstash .conf file, I put "output { elasticsearch { hosts =\> ['localhost: 9200'] index =\> 'jose\_test\_v14' manage\_template =\> true template =\> '/etc/logstash/conf.d/v14.json' template\_name =\> 'jose\_test\_v14' template\_overwrite =\> true } stdout {} } and within V14, I have the structure of the: { "template": "jose\_pruebe\_v14", "settings": { "number\_of\_shards": 1, "number\_of\_replicas": 0, "index": { "query": {"default\_field": "@message"}, "store": {"compress": {"stored": true, "tv": true}} } }, "mapping": { "\_Doc": { "\_all": {"enabled": false}, "\_source": {"compress": true}, "dynamic\_templates": [ { "string\_template": { "match": "\*", "mapping": {"type": "string", "index": "not\_analyzed"}, "match\_mapping\_type": "string" } } ], "properties": { "location": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore\_above": 256 } } }, but when I run: Failed to install template. {: message =\> "Got response code '400' contacting Elasticsearch at URL 'http: // localhost: 9200 / \_template / jose\_pruebe\_v14'", I do not know what is wrong so that I do not get the template for the mapping, since the dates, I do not want them with the elastic format it sets by default but ``` "date_variable": { "type": "date", "format": "yyyy-MM-DD" }, ``` any guidance that can help me to find the problem? I have been looking at some people who have had the same problem, but I have not found the solution so that this does not happen. attentively José ---
