I add this， then it works.

But the doc said this needn't, I think maybe the doc need to modify.

Hi @GITnewfish,

Looks like you have two indices in your track.json "indices" section. Note the documentation you've highlighted says "if you have defined exactly one index"

Hope that helps, and please let us know if there is anything further.

Thanks,  
Rick B

Thanks，my fault. All I see was "this index has exactly one type", ignored the words before "and".
