I had initially set my `dynamic` field of my template to `strict`.  
For some reason (perhaps some events out of the ones defined in the template got away) all events got `400`, so I decided to change my `dynamic` field to `false`.

```
  "mappings": {
    "_doc": {
      "dynamic": "false",
      "properties": {
        "_time": {"type":"date"},
...

```

However, although I deleted the daily index, I get the rejections again:

`[2019-02-14T09:23:23,484][WARN][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch] Could not index event to Elasticsearch. {:status=>400, :action=>["index", {:_id=>nil, :_index=>"epaloalto_raw_data-2019.02.14", :_type=>"_doc", :_routing=>nil}, #<LogStash::Event:0x1e5d6507>], :response=>{"index"=>{"_index"=>"paloalto_raw_data-2019.02.14", "_type"=>"_doc", "_id"=>"537j6mgBNHkpa2Kwe8fX", "status"=>400, "error"=>{"type"=>"strict_dynamic_mapping_exception", "reason"=>"mapping set to strict, dynamic introduction of [type] within [_doc] is not allowed"}}}}`
