Is there anything special regarding the templates I need to do before upgrading to 6.1.0?
Thanks

Hello again,
I got rid of the filebeat template problem by loading latest filebeat template.
For my own template I still have problems.'
Looking into elasticsearch log I found:

Oh no,
I just read:
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/removal-of-types.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/removal-of-types.html)
Seems like you have changed the entire template structure.
The example indicates that you insert new documents using a new type field.
What if I am not able to change the input.
Are there any other way to use old data?

You need to send your data to different indices like `index-type1-*`, `index-type2-*`...

So instead of having a template like:
{
> ```
> "template": "events-*",
> "id": "events-*",
> "type": "index-pattern",
> "version": 1,
> "mappings": {
> "log": {
> .
> .
> "state": {
> .
> .
> "counter": {
> .
> .
>
> ```
I should have something like
> {
> "template": "events-log-_",
> "id": "events-log-_",
> "type": "index-pattern",
> "version": 1,
> "mappings": {
> "log": {
> {
> "template": "events-state-_",
> "id": "events-state-_",
> "type": "index-pattern",
> "version": 1,
> "mappings": {
> "state": {
> {
> "template": "events-counter-_",
> "id": "events-counter-_",
> "type": "index-pattern",
> "version": 1,
> "mappings": {
> "counter": {
Is that right?
With several indices, how do I select default index in Kibana?
Thanks

Please format your code using `` icon as explained in [this guide](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21). It will make your post more readable.
Or use markdown style like:
````

Yes.

There is a little ⭐ icon close to the index name to make it the default one.
If having multiple indices is an issue, you can reproduce the way it was somewhat done internally in elasticsearch with multiple types (not really like this but you'll get the idea) and index your documents like:
```auto
{
"log": {
// Your log content here
},
"state": {
// Your state content here
},
"counter": {
// Your counter content here
}
}
```
But it's less efficient IMO.

Hi,
I am still struggeling.
I have a new index for each type but I get the following error:
> 14:20:21.483 [Ruby-0-Thread-40@[main]\>worker0: /usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline.rb:392] WARN logstash.outputs.elasticsearch - Could not index event to Elasticsearch. {:status=\>400, :action=\>["index", {:\_id=\>nil, :\_index=\>"events-state-2017.12.19", :\_type=\>"doc", :\_routing=\>nil}, #LogStash::Event:0x7b701c76], :response=\>{"index"=\>{"\_index"=\>"events-state-2017.12.19", "\_type"=\>"doc", "\_id"=\>"8mclb2ABzTth-5wZkhFh", "status"=\>400, "error"=\>{"type"=\>"illegal\_argument\_exception", "reason"=\>"Rejecting mapping update to [events-state-2017.12.19] as the final mapping would have more than 1 type: [doc, state]"}}}}
Then I found this:
[https://discuss.elastic.co/t/rejecting-mapping-update-for-new-index/109576](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/rejecting-mapping-update-for-new-index/109576)
Does it mean that I should not use templates at all in ES6?
(I though templates are required to get correct types)
I have the following template for state.
> ```
> {
> "template": "events-state-*",
> "id": "events-state-*",
> "type": "index-pattern",
> "version": 1,
> "mappings": {
> "state": {
> "dynamic_templates": [
>
> ```
>
> .
> .
> .
Can you explain how the template should be written?
Kind regards
Mathias

I understand now.
Just do not define any mapping for each index. Just a new index.
Thanks
