System_api_version [7] is not supported by system_id beats

[Urs_Bronk (Ursinius Bronkhorst)]

Hi,

I'm trying to monitor my filebeats on Kibana through elasticsearch.

I get the following error:
system_api_version [7] is not supported by system_id

ERROR pipeline/output.go:121 Failed to publish events: 400 Bad Request: {"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"illegal_argument_exception","reason":"system_api_version [7] is not supported by system_id [beats]"}],"type":"illegal_argument_exception","reason":"system_api_version [7] is not supported by system_id [beats]"},"status":400}

My filebeat.yml

What can possible be the problem?

Hi, two quick questions:

1. What version of Filebeat are you running?

2. What version of Elasticsearch is running at http://remote.everly.com:9200?

Thanks,

Shaunak

[Urs_Bronk (Ursinius Bronkhorst)]

Filebeat 7.0
Elastic 7.0
Logshash 7.0

[shaunak (Shaunak Kashyap)]

Hmmm, I just spun up the same versions locally and I'm not able to reproduce this issue. Could you post the output of curl http://remote.everly.com:9200 please?

Apologies I see I have 6.7 installed and not 7.0

No worries, glad it wasn't something more serious!

Cheers,
