Hello Dears, I am getting below error, while trying to ingest pdf file: “No processor type exists with name [attachment]" ```auto $params = [ 'id' => 'attachment', 'body' => [ 'description' => 'Extract attachment information', 'processors' => [ [ 'attachment' => [ 'field' => 'content', 'indexed_chars' => -1 ] ] ] ] ]; return $client->ingest()->putPipeline($params); $params = [ 'index' => $name, // 'type' => 'type', // 'id' => 'document_id', 'pipeline' => 'attachment', 'body' => [ 'content' => base64_encode(file_get_contents($file)) ] ]; return $client->index($params); ``` please your support, thank you very much. ---

You must install the attachment plugin and restart your cluster. ---

I am wondering i installed two versions of elastic, and installed the attachment plugin on the wrong one, do you think this cause the problem? When i run brew search Elasticsearch, i got Elasticsearch and Elasticsearch@6 ![Screen Shot 2021-09-23 at 7.46.31 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/c/1ca3bb77609d510a05a622e1f3aba94850eccf14.jpeg) ---

You need to install the attachment plugin in your cloud deployment. Edit the settings of the cloud deployment. IIRC it's in Elasticsearch settings. Add the attachment plugin, save and wait for the cluster to do its rolling upgrade. ---
