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](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:

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.......

That version of metricbeat is not compatible with such an old ES version unfortunately.

There is no metricbeat before 5.0.

Have a look at topbeat instead.
