I am getting this error failed to install when specifying the template file in the logstash configuration. But the same template json is working if I create it using the Elasticsearch API. I actually don't want to create it using Elasticsearch So basically I want to create the template using logstash and it should apply the specified template for the input data while inserting records in the Elasticsearch Below is my logstash code ```auto elasticsearch { hosts => "elasticsearch:9200" index => "family" document_type => "type" user => "" password => "" document_id => "%{family_id}" doc_as_upsert => true action => "update" manage_template => true template => "/usr/share/logstash/mappings/family.json" template_name => "family_template" template_overwrite => true } ``` And below is my template ```auto { "index_patterns": ["family*"], "version": 1, "settings": { "number_of_shards": 3, "index.refresh_interval" : "60s" }, "mappings": { "dynamic": false, "properties": { "@timestamp": { "type": "date" }, "@version": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "family_id": { "type": "long" }, "members": { "type": "nested",
