"caused\_by"=\>{"type"=\>"illegal\_argument\_exception", "reason"=\>"'172.16.110.11' is not an IP string literal."}}}}}

This is a Logstash error message.

But.

* * *

column =\> SourceIP

"mappings": {  
"session\_log": {  
"properties": {  
"SourceIP": {  
"type": "ip"  
},  
"DestinationIP": {  
"type": "ip"  
},

But Only error message on SourceIP field not DestinationIP  
Why first column is making error?.

ES, Logstash 5.4
