Unexpected type mapstr.M warning

Elastic Stack Beats
1

Hello,

I'm sending JSON logs using filebeat and suddenly I started to get this error:

{"log.level":"warn","@timestamp":"2022-12-08T23:33:51.575+0200","log.logger":"conditions","log.origin":{"file.name":"conditions/matcher.go","file.line":96},"message":"unexpected type mapstr.M in contains condition as it accepts only strings.","service.name":"filebeat","ecs.version":"1.6.0"}

Can't understand what exactly causing it. I checked all log entries, all of them are valid JSON's ...

Thank you in advance.

Hi Alex,

Welcome to Community!
It seems your contains condition is throwing an error as it is expecting strings only. Check your filebeat processors configuration?
More details here: Define processors | Filebeat Reference [8.5] | Elastic

Hello,

Thank you for the welcome :wink:

The only processors section that I have is the default one:

processors:
  - add_host_metadata:
      when.not.contains.tags: forwarded
  - add_cloud_metadata: ~
  - add_docker_metadata: ~
  - add_kubernetes_metadata: ~
4

If you are not using that contains condition , you can remove it
