Events are not indexing after upgradtion 5.6 to 6.0

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello

I have upgraded elastic 5.6 to 6.0 and after that events are not indexing from any sources.

The below is a strip from logstash log. I have tried with and without index mapping.
Where can I find the updated index mapping templates?

[2017-11-20T11:37:44,696][WARN ][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch] Could not index event to Elasticsearch. {:status=>400, :action=>["index", {:_id=>nil, :_index=>"winlogbeat-2017.11.20", :_type=>"wineventlog", :_routing=>nil}, #LogStash::Event:0x2f9e59e5], :response=>{"index"=>{"_index"=>"winlogbeat-2017.11.20", "_type"=>"wineventlog", "_id"=>"kAiT2F8B8FIdclYYevZJ", "status"=>400, "error"=>{"type"=>"illegal_argument_exception", "reason"=>"Rejecting mapping update to [winlogbeat-2017.11.20] as the final mapping would have more than 1 type: [winlogbeat, wineventlog]"}}}}

It seems like your template created a type named winlogbeat and logstash is using wineventlog.

You need to either remove the template and replace it with what is needed or update your logstash configuration to use winlogbeat.

What I did was , followed this post Help please.. breaking changes? - #10 by Maekee
and
Changed the logstash output to this:
index => "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{[@metadata][version]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"

I was not using any index templates for mapping, still I dont understand why it started working!!!

What are the existing index templates?
What is your logstash configuration?

I have only one index template that is for logstash-*

{
  "logstash": {
    "order": 0,
    "version": 60001,
    "index_patterns": [
       "logstash-*"
    ],
    "settings": {
      "index": {
        "refresh_interval": "5s"
      }

Logstash :

input {
  beats {
    port => 5044
  }
}


output {

{
 elasticsearch {
    hosts => "http://localhost:9200"
    manage_template => true
    index => "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{[@metadata][version]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
  }
}

I edited your post.

You index template is not complete I think. Could you share the full one please?

I think your logstash config is wrong. Could you share the real one please?

Yes David am posting it here

input {
  beats {
port => 5044
  }
}

filter{} portion

if [type]=="wineventlog"
        {
        mutate { add_field => { "indexType" => "WINDOWS-LOGS" }
                                     }
                }

output{}

if [indexType]== "WINDOWS-LOGS"
{
 elasticsearch {
    hosts => "http://localhost:9200"
    manage_template => true
    index => "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{[@metadata][version]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"

  }
}

Thanks

I’m pretty sure this logstash config does not work.
Which means you’re not copy/pasting it.

What is the mapping for your index?

Hi David, my logstash configuration is huge that's why I have copied only the relevant portion. The remaining events processing and added to the indexes.

I have not specified any mapping as it is a new installation. So it might be taking the default mapping?

Can you share the current mapping for this index?

Sorry, how to get that?
Is it same as _/template/* ?

GET winlogbeat-2017.11.20/_mapping

Hello, thanks. Here is the mapping.

This is the mapping for 21st not 20th.

Do you still have the issue today?

Hello David

I have deleted that by mistake, anyway it is working fine today. Many thanks.

Hi David

If I haven't put any default index templates, how will elasticsearch map the data to an index?

Sumesh

It will guess. Which is sometime (often?) bad.
In practice, I feel better to define a mapping by my self so I have a finer control.

But if you are using Logstash or Beats, index templates are provided OOTB.

Thanks David
I understood.

I have multiple sensors such as beats, json file input, syslog, tcp, snmp etc.
