Getting this error when trying to reindex old indexes (which were created in 5.6.x) thru Kibana's 7.0 Upgrade Assistant:

```auto

```

Looks like it's because it's trying to apply the `syslog` mapping which still has "\_all" in it... How can I alter this mapping, so that I can successfully reindex these older files?

Anyone? Surely I can't be the only one who's run into this...
