Here is a sample output when I run topbeats for a few seconds. Will continue to test:

Yes that is a problem, it means it cannot process the data.  
Did you upgrade any time recently?

```
    "fs" : {
        "properties" : {
            "used_p" : {
                "type" : "float",
                "doc_values" : "true"
            }
        }
    }

```

The default topbeat-\* template maps that field to a float. My guess is you haven't created the template, so ES is making best guess of the field type.

Can you provide the output of

```
GET /_template/topbeat*
```

It might happen if you don't load the Topbeat template in Elasticsearch. Here are the [steps](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/topbeat/current/topbeat-getting-started.html#topbeat-template). Please let me know if the errors still appear after you load the template.
