Hi, I created a mapping through "put" but I can't do this for every filebeat-\* index, I can only do this for a specific filebeat-XXXXX how can I change this that it will work for all dates? ---

Thanks, Yes I saw this but was not sure if this is the correct way... I hit a few difficulties doing this, but thanks anyway. I used at the end Logstash ---
