After connecting to the Web data connector, I failed to connect to the data that I've published  
on Elasticsearch every time I write in the "Type" area, the error information is "unable to get elasticsearch type", as is shown, I've set the \_type as 'user' in the config file in "input" area.  
Tried every way, and it doesn't work, don't know where goes wrong.  
Thanks!!
