Hello,

I use ELK on my server. I have indexes (created by logstash).

When we request for mapping on index (with http) =\> "logstash-2019.05.27/\_mapping"

We have response:  
`{"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"type_missing_exception","reason":"type[[logstash-2019.05.27]] missing","index_uuid":"_na_","index":"_all"}],"type":"type_missing_exception","reason":"type[[logstash-2019.05.27]] missing","index_uuid":" *na* ","index":"_all"},"status":404}`

**Elasticsearch release 6.7.0**

Below its the output part of logstash:  
output { stdout { codec =\> rubydebug } elasticsearch { hosts  
=\> "elasticsearch:9200" index =\> "logstash-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"manage\_template =\> false } }

Example of problem on grafana ![Capture](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/f/ffb07739efe1673669efbf60283b182b11bba0ab.png)

Except that mapping error all functionalities are working fine, i have response on search request. May be i miss something on elasticsearch configuration or logstash pipeline. If someone has an idea 🙂

Thanks
