Hi, I manually put an index template in Elasticsearch with doc_type doc. But when Logstash tries to index an event using this template. it shows failed to index due to multiple doc types. I think the template I defined is the same as the doc type in the event, which is doc. Can anyone explain why it failed to index?
Another question:
If I update the index pattern, will Logstash use the new index pattern or still cache the old index pattern?
[2019-02-18T22:37:05,637][WARN ][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch] Could not index event to Elasticsearch. {:status=>400, :action=>["index", {:_id=>nil, :_index=>"log-2019", :_type=>"doc", :_routing=>nil}, #<LogStash::Event:0xdc6d769>], :response=>{"index"=>{"_index"=>"log-2019", "_type"=>"doc", "_id"=>"4yZ4BGkBCjBT-EkD5FW0", "status"=>400, "error"=>{"type"=>"illegal_argument_exception", "reason"=>"Rejecting mapping update to [log-2019] as the final mapping would have more than 1 type: [_doc, doc]"}}}}
Template defined use Template API:
