Hi ,
I upgraded my elastic cluster from 6.8.1 to 7.2 and also updated beats to 7.3. What are the fields i suppose to update in visualization and dashboards to consume the new 7 field names.

Duggina,
Considering you're upgrading from 6.8, you're probably running into migration issues with ECS. Are you having issues with any specific dashboards or fields?
