Hello, i am having an issue with elasticsearch monitoring index, in elasticsearch i am having this log

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Rejecting mapping update to [.monitoring-es-6-2019.08.29] as the final mapping would have more than 1 type: [\_doc, doc]

i am trying to use only \_doc because i want to migrate to es8 in the future. How can i do that
