I send to elasticsearch 5.3 by using filebeat 5.3 before.Now, a new elasticsearch(7.0.1) is installed into a new server.When I want to sends to elasticsearch(7.0.1) by filebeat 5.3.It seems that because elasticsearch(7.0.1) cannot loads the index template from filebeat(5.3). I see it output the error as follow():
```
{
"error": {
"root_cause": [{
"type": "mapper_parsing_exception",
"reason": "Root mapping definition has unsupported parameters: [_default_ : {_meta={version=5.3.0}, dynamic_templates=[{strings_as_keyword={m......"
}],
"type": "mapper_parsing_exception",
"reason": "Failed to parse mapping [_doc]: Root mapping definition has unsupported parameters: [_default_ : {_meta={version=5.3.0}, dynamic_templa......",
"caused_by": {
"type": "mapper_parsing_exception",
"reason": "Root mapping definition has unsupported parameters: [_default_ : {_meta={version=5.3.0}......"
}
},
"status": 400
}
```
So-----
1.It looks like I should alter filebeat(5.3)'s `filebeat.template.json`.What should I do.
or
2.The question could not be settled inabstracto. Upgrading is the only way.
I hope who can give me some guidance.Thanks

Welcome! 🙂
Check out [https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix#matrix\_compatibility](https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix#matrix_compatibility), but you will need to upgrade.
