MapperPrsing Exception in METRICBEANS

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi

We are using elasticsearch 1.5.2
Insalled metricbeat by command :
curl -L -O https://download.elastic.co/beats/metricbeat/metricbeat-5.0.0-alpha5-x86_64.rpm

Configuration:
in metricbeat.yml file:
metricbeat.modules:

#------------------------------- System Module -------------------------------

  • module: system
    metricsets:

    • cpu
    • load
    • filesystem
    • memory
    • network
    • process
      enabled: true
      period: 10s
      processes: ['.*']

    if true, exports the CPU usage in ticks, together with the percentage values

    cpu_ticks: false
    output.elasticsearch:
    hosts: ["ourip:9200"]
    template.enabled: true
    template.path: "metricbeat.template.json"
    template.overwrite: false
    Optional protocol and basic auth credentials.

After configuration starting METRICBEATS: /etc/init.d/metricbeat start
Getting:
Started the metricbeat displaying status INFO Register [ModuleFactory:[], MetricSetFactory:[apache/status, mongodb/status, mysql/status, nginx/stubstatus, redis/info, redis/keyspace, system/core, system/cpu, system/diskio, system/filesystem, system/fsstat, system/load, system/memory, system/network, system/process, zookeeper/mntr]]

But getting warning in metricbeat logs :WARN Can not index event (status=400): "MapperParsingException[mapping [default]]; nested: MapperParsingException[No handler for type [keyword] declared on field [tags]]; "

Due to this "metricbeat" index is not craeted.......

There is no metricbeat before 5.0.

Have a look at topbeat instead.
