Try to save object due to such json: ``` { "header": "test Header", "timeStamp":"2018-01-26T09:45:00.000+02:00", "message":"test message 3", "level":"INFO", "node": "first node", "system": "super system 1", "port": 9300, "module":"test module", "submodule":"test submodule", "thread":"test thread", "operation":"some operation", "sessionId":"1", "userLogin":"user", "userName":"user", "office":"1", "location": { "lat": 41.12, "lon": -71.34 }, "ip":"192.168.3.93", "device":"some device" } ``` And get such error: ``` { "timestamp": "26.01.2018", "status": 500, "error": "Internal Server Error", "exception": "org.elasticsearch.ElasticsearchStatusException", "message": "Elasticsearch exception [type=illegal_argument_exception, reason=[location] is defined as an object in mapping [logs_info] but this name is already used for a field in other types]", "path": "/api/saveLogs" } ``` Right know I don't have any indexes in my ES, deleted all. What it can be? ---

Can you show what you get when running this command? ``` curl -XGET localhost:9200/_cat/indices?v ``` ---

I've added also such pattern: ``` PUT _template/portal-logs { "index_patterns": "portal-logs-*", "settings": { "number_of_shards": 5 }, "mappings": { "ENTRY": { "_source": { "enabled": true }, "_all": { "enabled": false }, "properties": { "timestamp": {"type": "date"}, "header": {"type": "keyword"}, "message": {"type": "text"}, "level": {"type": "text"}, "node": {"type": "text"}, "system": {"type": "text"}, "port": {"type": "integer"}, "module": {"type": "text"}, "submodule": {"type": "text"}, "thread": {"type": "text"}, "operation": {"type": "text"}, "sessionId": {"type": "text"}, "userLogin": {"type": "text"}, "userName": {"type": "text"}, "office": {"type": "text"}, "location":{"type": "geo_point"}, "ip":{"type": "text"}, "device": {"type": "text"} } } } } ``` but without it the error is the same. ---

Which version of ES are you running and can you show the command you're using to index your data? ---

ES 6.1 Here my method for indexing documents: ``` @PostMapping("/saveLogs") @Transactional public GenericResponse saveLogsToES(@RequestBody ElasticSearchLogs elasticSearchLogs) { String date = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy").format(new Date()).toLowerCase(); try { XContentBuilder builder = jsonBuilder() .startObject() .field("timeStamp", elasticSearchLogs.getTimeStamp()) .field("header", elasticSearchLogs.getHeader()) .field("message", elasticSearchLogs.getMessage()) .field("level", elasticSearchLogs.getLevel()) .field("node", elasticSearchLogs.getNode()) .field("system", elasticSearchLogs.getSystem()) .field("port", elasticSearchLogs.getPort()) .field("module", elasticSearchLogs.getModule()) .field("submodule", elasticSearchLogs.getSubmodule()) .field("thread", elasticSearchLogs.getThread()) .field("operation", elasticSearchLogs.getOperation()) .field("sessionId", elasticSearchLogs.getSessionId()) .field("userLogin", elasticSearchLogs.getUserLogin()) .field("userName", elasticSearchLogs.getUserName()) .field("office", elasticSearchLogs.getOffice()) .field("location", elasticSearchLogs.getLocation()) .field("ip", elasticSearchLogs.getIp()) .field("device", elasticSearchLogs.getDevice()) .endObject(); IndexRequest indexRequest = new IndexRequest("portal-logs-" + date, "logs_info").source(builder); client.index(indexRequest); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } return GenericResponse.success(null, CODE_200); } ``` ---

Ok, I think the problem is that in your mapping your type is named `ENTRY` and in your code you're using `logs_info`. Try changing `ENTRY` to `logs_info` in your mapping, recreate your index and try again. ---
