I am running ELK 6.5.4 and trying to use the http\_poller to poll data into ELK but my logstash is unable to index to Elasticsearch and throws error message ]logstash.outputs.elasticsearch] Could not index event to Elasticsearch. {:status=\>400, :action=\>["index", {:\_id=\>"%{[id]}", :\_index=\>"index-2019.02.11", :\_type=\>"bikestatus", :routing=\>nil}, #LogStash::Event:0x1ac6e8e1], :response=\>{"index"=\>{"\_index"=\>"bikestatus-dc-2019.02.11", "\_type"=\>"bikestatus", "\_id"=\>"%{[id]}", "status"=\>400, "error"=\>{"type"=\>"mapper\_parsing\_exception", "reason"=\>"failed to parse", "caused\_by"=\>{"type"=\>"illegal\_argument\_exception", "reason"=\>"Could not convert [location.index] to boolean", "caused\_by"=\>{"type"=\>"illegal\_argument\_exception", "reason"=\>"Failed to parse value [not\_analyzed] as only [true] or [false] are allowed."}}}}}}. I posted this in Logstash forum but it seems to be an issue with Elasticsearch. Here's the link to my post in Logstash forum [https://discuss.elastic.co/t/logstash-cannot-index-to-elasticsearch-for-http-poller/167931/5?u=imortalsolitude](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/logstash-cannot-index-to-elasticsearch-for-http-poller/167931/5?u=imortalsolitude) ---

I think this could be the error the template is not being used elasticsearch - Failed to install template. {:message=\>"Got response code '400' contacting Elasticsearch at URL '[http://10.1.0.187:9200/\_template/bikesstatus](http://10.1.0.187:9200/_template/bikesstatus)'", :class=\>"LogStash::Outputs::ElasticSearch::HttpClient::Pool::BadResponseCodeError", :backtrace=\>["/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.3.0/gems/logstash-output-elasticsearch-9.3.0-java/lib/logstash/outputs/elasticsearch/http\_client/manticore\_adapter.rb:80:in `perform_request'", "/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.3.0/gems/logstash-output-elasticsearch-9.3.0-java/lib/logstash/outputs/elasticsearch/http_client/pool.rb:291:in`perform\_request\_to\_url'", "/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.3.0/gems/logstash-output-elasticsearch-9.3.0-java/lib/logstash/outputs/elasticsearch/http\_client/pool.rb:278:in `block in perform_request'", "/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.3.0/gems/logstash-output-elasticsearch-9.3.0-java/lib/logstash/outputs/elasticsearch/http_client/pool.rb:373:in`with\_connection'", "/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.3.0/gems/logstash-output-elasticsearch-9.3.0-java/lib/logstash/outputs/elasticsearch/http\_client/pool.rb:277:in `perform_request'", "/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.3.0/gems/logstash-output-elasticsearch-9.3.0-java/lib/logstash/outputs/elasticsearch/http_client/pool.rb:285:in`block in Pool'", "/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.3.0/gems/logstash-output-elasticsearch-9.3.0-java/lib/logstash/outputs/elasticsearch/http\_client.rb:352:in `template_put'", "/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.3.0/gems/logstash-output-elasticsearch-9.3.0-java/lib/logstash/outputs/elasticsearch/http_client.rb:86:in`template\_install'", "/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.3.0/gems/logstash-output-elasticsearch-9.3.0-java/lib/logstash/outputs/elasticsearch/template\_manager.rb:22:in `install'", "/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.3.0/gems/logstash-output-elasticsearch-9.3.0-java/lib/logstash/outputs/elasticsearch/template_manager.rb:10:in`install\_template'", "/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.3.0/gems/logstash-output-elasticsearch-9.3.0-java/lib/logstash/outputs/elasticsearch/common.rb:130:in `install_template'", "/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.3.0/gems/logstash-output-elasticsearch-9.3.0-java/lib/logstash/outputs/elasticsearch/common.rb:51:in`block in setup\_after\_successful\_connection'"]} ---
