I'm guessing this is related to: > It in turn references: > Which is in manticore 0.5.2. The current manticore version in 2.1.1 is 0.4.4. ---

I'm getting the same error from logstash. For me it occurs when I add the following to my configuration ``` elasticsearch { hosts => "elasticsearch:9200" sniffing => true manage_template => false index => "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}" document_type => "%{[@metadata][type]}" } ``` If I send the output directly, without setting the index etc it works OK. I'm using docker, based on [https://github.com/deviantony/docker-elk](https://github.com/deviantony/docker-elk) ---

Same error here, is there a workaround? I don't know how to proceed if I remove the `index` field like @jamesabbottsmith mentioned. ---

UPDATE: If your use case is just one node (not a cluster of elasticsearch instances, just go ahead and remove the `sniffing` param and it iwll work.) ---
