Hello all,
I'm trying to fix as many issues I can in my Elastic Stack setup before upgrading to version 6. One thing I would like to sort out are conflicting Index Patterns.
In one of my clusters I have a conflict for @version
where both string and number are used. In my production cluster there is no conflict and the type is string which I find a bit surprising...
Anyway, I use Elastic Stack for classic log shipping and analysing. Version 5.6.5 if that makes a difference.
-
First off I'd like to know where the
@version
field comes from. Is it aded by Elasticsearch or some other part of the stack, like Logstash? -
Specific log documents are not updated and thus not versioned so I don't see how I would ever have any use of the
@version
filed. Is it possible to drop that field somehow?
All suggestions and comments are welcome
Cheers,
AB
