I tried to introduce kafka into my existing infrastructure. But Mapping not working when I insert the packetbeat data on Kafka and read the data from kafka using Logstash.

Even I updated the template (packetbeat.template.json) manually into elasticsearch [same template used by packetbeat].

Version:  
5.4.1
