I just upgraded my Elasticsearch cluster from `7.13.4` to `7.16.3` . After upgrading all nodes in the cluster, I checked the migration deprecations endpoint and found this warning:
```auto
GET _migration/deprecations
{
"cluster_settings": [
{
"level": "warning",
"message": "Custom mapping types in index templates are deprecated",
"url": "https://ela.st/es-deprecation-7-custom-types",
"details": "Update or remove the following index templates before upgrading to 8.0: [.watch-history-7, logstash]. See https://ela.st/es-deprecation-7-removal-of-types for alternatives to mapping types.",
"resolve_during_rolling_upgrade": false
}
],
"node_settings": [],
"index_settings": {},
"ml_settings": [],
"ccr_auto_followed_system_indices": []
}
```
I then checked the index\_template endpoint for the `.watch-history-7` and `logstash` index templates but they aren't there (shortened for readability):
```auto
GET _index_template
{
"index_templates": [
{
"name": ".triggered_watches",
"index_template": {
"index_patterns": [
".triggered_watches*"
],
...
}
},
{
"name": "synthetics",
"index_template": {
"index_patterns": [
"synthetics-*-*"
],
...
}
},
{
"name": ".watch-history-13",
"index_template": {
"index_patterns": [
".watcher-history-13*"
],
...
}
},
{
"name": "ilm-history",
"index_template": {
"index_patterns": [
"ilm-history-5*"
],
...
}
},
{
"name": ".ml-state",
"index_template": {
"index_patterns": [
".ml-state*"
],
...
}
},
{
"name": ".slm-history",
"index_template": {
"index_patterns": [
".slm-history-5*"
],
...
}
},
{
"name": "metrics",
"index_template": {
"index_patterns": [
"metrics-*-*"
],
...
}
},
{
"name": ".ml-anomalies-",
"index_template": {
"index_patterns": [
".ml-anomalies-*"
],
...
}
},
{
"name": ".ml-notifications-000002",
"index_template": {
"index_patterns": [
".ml-notifications-000002"
],
...
}
},
{
"name": ".deprecation-indexing-template",
"index_template": {
"index_patterns": [
".logs-deprecation.*"
],
...
}
},
{
"name": ".watches",
"index_template": {
"index_patterns": [
".watches*"
],
...
}
},
{
"name": "logs",
"index_template": {
"index_patterns": [
"logs-*-*"
],
...
}
},
{
"name": ".ml-stats",
"index_template": {
"index_patterns": [
".ml-stats-*"
],
...
}
}
]
}
```
What am I missing? Am I looking in the wrong place for the index templates? Is this actually a concern before I upgrade to v8.0? Is there a way to resolve the warning? Thanks in advance!
