Hi,

I'm using Elasticsearch 1.7 and trying to copy documents from old index to new index using Logstash 7.6.

Here is my configuration file:

```auto
input {
  # We read from the "old" cluster
  elasticsearch {
    hosts => ["vip-qi-rpt-cluster-beta.integ.abc.com:443"]
    index => "quality_intelligence_completed_count_2020_feb"
    size => 500
    scroll => "5m"
    docinfo => true
  }
}

output {
  # We write to the "new" cluster
  elasticsearch {
    hosts => "vip-qi-rpt-cluster-beta.integ.abc.com:443"
    protocol => "http"
    index => "test_quality_intelligence_completed_count_2020_feb"
  }
  # We print dots to see it in action
  stdout {
    codec => "dots"
  }
}

```

I'm getting this error below when executing. Could you advise what went wrong with my configuration? Or is it something related to the logstash version I'm using?

Okay. figured it out by myself: I re-installed logstash-1.5.0 and this command is just working fine.
