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
