Hi,

packetbeat in version \>= 7.0.0 gives:

[2019-09-11T11:28:41,165][WARN][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch] Could not index event to Elasticsearch. {:status=\>400, :action=\>["index", {:\_id=\>nil, :\_index=\>"packetbeat-2019.09.11", :\_type=\>"\_doc", :routing=\>nil}, #LogStash::Event:0x5848d9a9], :response=\>{"index"=\>{"\_index"=\>"packetbeat-2019.09.11", "\_type"=\>"\_doc", "\_id"=\>nil, "status"=\>400, "error"=\>{"type"=\>"mapper\_parsing\_exception", "reason"=\>"Failed to parse mapping [_default_]: Root mapping definition has unsupported parameters: [\_all : {norms=false}]", "caused\_by"=\>{"type"=\>"mapper\_parsing\_exception", "reason"=\>"Root mapping definition has unsupported parameters: [\_all : {norms=false}]"}}}}}

with a stack in version \>= 7.0.0.

For a stack in version \<= 7.0.0 this error does not occur.

Is there something I could do?

Best regards,  
Robert
