Hi, I am trying to connect to remote host of elastic search using logstash. Taken a sample /var/log/message and given as input file path in my logstash.conf. Here is the conf file which i am using : input { file { path =\> "/tmp/access\_log" start\_position =\> "beginning" type =\> "syslog" sincedb\_path =\> "nul" } } output { elasticsearch { hosts =\> [":9200"] template\_overwrite =\> "true" } } and my /tmp/access\_log contains simple logmessage : Dec 3 08:45:23 ip- dhclient[1852]: DHCPACK from (xid=0x14eec1ec) But i am getting a message saying - :response=\>{"index"=\>{"index"=\>"logstash-2015.12.03", "type"=\>"syslog", "id"=\>nil, "status"=\>400, "error"=\>{"type"=\>"mapperparsing\_exception", "reason"=\>"mapping [_default_]", "caused\_by"=\>{"type"=\>"mapper\_parsing\_exception", "reason"=\>"Mapping definition for [geoip] has unsupported parameters: [path : full]"}}}}, :level=\>:warn} and also please let me know how to create index automatically.. awaiting for your reply. Thanks In advance. ---

What version of Logstash and Elasticsearch? What's the contents of the "logstash" index template (use [the API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-templates.html#getting) to obtain it)? > please let me know how to create index automatically You mean automatically create an index when the first document is indexed? That's the default. ---
