Hi Team,

I am getting below error message with logstash.

[2020-05-24T15:11:59,888][WARN][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch][main] Could not index event to Elasticsearch. {:status=\>400, :action=\>["index", {:\_id=\>nil, :\_index=\>"fmc", :routing=\>nil, :\_type=\>"\_doc"}, #LogStash::Event:0x64bcc3ba], :response=\>{"index"=\>{"\_index"=\>"fmc", "\_type"=\>"\_doc", "\_id"=\>"BEI9R3IBNjQQbI4wm6b6", "status"=\>400, "error"=\>{"type"=\>"mapper\_parsing\_exception", "reason"=\>"failed to parse field [name] of type [text] in document with id 'BEI9R3IBNjQQbI4wm6b6'.

Welcome! 😃

It's saying that the value of the `name` field is `{data=ISE, blockLength=12, blockType=0}`, which doesn't look right at all, and Elasticsearch attempts to translate that into an object instead of it being text.

You'd need to identify where that value is coming from
