Hi, i get this message on the index patterns page: Mapping conflict > A field is defined as several types (string, integer, etc) across the indices that match this pattern. You may still be able to use these conflict fields in parts of Kibana, but they will be unavailable for functions that require Kibana to know their type. Correcting this issue will require reindexing your data. I found many soloutions to reindex my index. But none is telling me the quickest way to find the duplicate. Is there a way instead of manually looking trough a 1500 line file generated via GET index-2020.05.05/\_mapping ---

I think the Elasticsearch team will be able to help you more with this as indices and index mappings are a feature of Elasticsearch. ---
