Hi all, I am doing an install of Elasticsearch `7.6` version on my kubernetes cluster. I have an index-template json which creates custom index patterns. my template.json looks like below. When i create the template, I get mapper\_parsing\_exception

`{ "error" : { "root_cause" : [{ "type" : "mapper_parsing_exception", "reason" : "Root mapping definition has unsupported parameters: [doc : {dynamic_templates=[{strings_as_text={mapping={type=text}, match_mapping_type=string}}], properties={logline={analyzer=keyword, type=text}, kubernetes={properties={pod_name={analyzer=keyword, type=text}}}, component={analyzer=keyword, type=text}, @timestamp={type=date}, beat={properties={hostname={ignore_above=1024, type=keyword}, timezone={ignore_above=1024, type=keyword}, name={ignore_above=1024, type=keyword}, version={ignore_above=1024, type=keyword}}}, namespace={analyzer=keyword, type=text}, error={properties={code={type=long}, message={norms=false, type=text}, type={ignore_above=1024, type=keyword}}}, fields={type=object}}}]" } ]`

I read the docs for 7.6 wherein there is removal for mapping types, i tried removing the `doc` from the template but I don't see the index patterns getting created in `Kibana` . also the `_cat/indices` shows `docs.count` as `0` for those indexes after I remove doc type. To summarize, when I dont include `_doc` in the template, the POST call is successful, but i see no patterns created in Kibana Discovery. could someone help me with whats wrong with my template.
