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
```

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](http://remote.everly.com:9200)?
Thanks,
Shaunak

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?

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