Hi tbhaxor,

The packetbeat installation might be fresh, but what about the cluster? Did you perform an update? see a similar thread: [Fielddata is disabled on text fields by default. Set fielddata=true on [host.name] in order to load fielddata in memory by uninverting the inverted index](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/fielddata-is-disabled-on-text-fields-by-default-set-fielddata-true-on-host-name-in-order-to-load-fielddata-in-memory-by-uninverting-the-inverted-index/212111/3)
