Mapping definition for [body] has unsupported parameters

Zorkmid · December 21, 2018, 12:13am

Hello All,

I've got the follow setup installed:
packetbeat-6.5.4-1.x86_64 (installed on 2 different downstream servers)
elasticsearch-6.5.4-1.noarch (installed on 6 physical servers - setup as 3 data and 3 masters)
kibana-6.5.4-1.x86_64 ( installed on one of the master servers)

The config for packetbeat is simple. Simple defined as pointing the beat at the ES server thats running Kibana and edit the beat name and change nothing else. The beat starts as expected.

2018-12-20T14:26:32.305-0800 INFO instance/beat.go:278 Setup Beat: packetbeat; Version: 6.5.4
2018-12-20T14:26:35.307-0800 INFO add_cloud_metadata/add_cloud_metadata.go:319 add_cloud_metadata: hosting provider type not detected.

[ OK ]

However no index is created for either downstream beat. The following is sample from the one of the beat instances:

2018-12-20T15:33:10.292-0800 WARN elasticsearch/client.go:521 Cannot index event publisher.Event{Content:beat.Event{Timestamp:time.Time{wall:0xf79bb20, ext:63680945589, loc:(*time.Location)(0x22d2700)}, Meta:common.MapStr(nil), Fields:common.MapStr{"status":"Error", "client_port":0xc6d7, "client_server":"", "client_proc":"", "dns":common.MapStr{"op_code":"QUERY", "answers_count":0, "flags":common.MapStr{"truncated_response":false, "recursion_desired":true, "recursion_available":false, "authentic_data":false, "checking_disabled":false, "authoritative":false}, "opt":common.MapStr{"ext_rcode":"Unknown 15", "do":true, "version":"0", "udp_size":0xfa0}, "id":0x5bd, "question":common.MapStr{"etld_plus_one":"akadns.net.", "name":"v10-win.vortex.data.microsoft.com.akadns.net.", "type":"A", "class":"IN"}, "additionals_count":0, "response_code":"NOERROR", "authorities_count":0}, "ip":"8.8.8.8", "port":0x35, "proc":"", "host":common.MapStr{"name":"usherlsec01.bio-rad.com", "os":common.MapStr{"platform":"centos", "version":"6.8 (Final)", "family":"redhat", "codename":"Final"}, "containerized":true, "architecture":"x86_64"}, "client_ip":"10.3.122.224", "query":"class IN, type A, v10-win.vortex.data.microsoft.com.akadns.net.", "transport":"udp", "notes":"Another query with the same DNS ID from this client was received so this query was closed without receiving a response", "beat":common.MapStr{"version":"6.5.4", "name":"hercules", "hostname":"usherlsec01.bio-rad.com"}, "type":"dns", "resource":"v10-win.vortex.data.microsoft.com.akadns.net.", "bytes_in":73, "method":"QUERY", "server":""}, Private:interface {}(nil)}, Flags:0x0} (status=400): {"type":"mapper_parsing_exception","reason":"Failed to parse mapping [doc]: Mapping definition for [body] has unsupported parameters: [ignore_above : 1024]","caused_by":{"type":"mapper_parsing_exception","reason":"Mapping definition for [body] has unsupported parameters: [ignore_above : 1024]"}}

Thoughts of where to go to chase this down and correct?

Thanks

For starters, lets see if we can identify the index that has the bad mapping. Could you run the following ES query in Console and post the output here (might be large)?

GET */_mapping?filter_path=**.body.ignore_above

Hi,

I have the same problem. The command you suggested gives me metricbeat indices, not packetbeat indices as I would expect:

I am highly interested in a solution.

Hi @leprovokateur,

Could you post the exact command you ran to generate the Mapping definition for [body] has unsupported parameters: [ignore_above : 1024]` error and any log output that resulted from that command, like the OP did?

Hi,

I ran packetbeat -e

Thanks @leprovokateur. I think the metricbeat mappings might be a red herring here.

Could you also post the output of these two ES queries?

GET _cat/indices/*beat?v
GET _template/*packetbeat*

Zorkmid · January 4, 2019, 9:32pm

Hello,

Ran "GET */_mapping?filter_path=**.body.ignore_above" and which returned 2 empty brackets {}.

However in rereading the error message "Mapping definition for [body] has unsupported parameters: [ignore_above : 1024]" it appears to be generated from the packetbeat template on the ES cluster since I've elect not to override the default templates in my config.

Running "GET /_template/packetbeat-6*" in the ES console shows the various packetbeat templates present in the system and the only area within the template that has the keyword "body" with the keyword "ingnore_above" is the http portion of the template.

Note: the WinlogBeat is still running as expected.

Hello,

My problem seems to be solved -

In the ES console I hunted down the various templates that related to the problem.
Found a template from 5.4 version of Packetbeat plus a few others.
In the ES console I did a "DELETE _template/<packetbeat_template>" on each errant template that I did not want.
Lastly I restarted the remote beats and voilà, the correct template for 6.5.4 is used and the indices are built with event data - yeah me!!

Cheers and thanks for the sparking an idea.
