Hi,

I'm trying to store attachments to my ES cluster but I'm stuck at the mapping creation step. Here is my actual situation :

The ingest-attachment plugin is installed on each node :

And each nodes has been restarted successfully.

But when i try to create a mapping containing an attachment i still get the error :

ES is in 7.2v

Any idea ?

Thanks

Bonjour 🙂

That's not how ingest attachment plugin works.  
You are trying to behave like the mapper attachments plugin used to work. This plugin has been removed.

Have a look at the documentation to see how ingest attachment works: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/7.3/ingest-attachment.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/7.3/ingest-attachment.html)

Thanks, for the fast answer 🙂

If I'm understanding well, you don't store the attachment in the document but you have to create a pipeline for the attachment and a mapping for other fields. Then you link the attachment to the document you put in the index with the pipeline, right ?

It's a succes,

To help other, Here is the process :

- You create your document mapping
- You create the ingest pipeline for attachments [(like here)](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/7.3/using-ingest-attachment.html)
- Then when you create a document you attach the document by adding the "data" field in the list of fields that takes your document (created in step 1) and add the ?pipeline=attachment in the URL.

Hope it helps 🙂
