I get Logstash errors like:

[2018-07-06T15:46:38,453][WARN ][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch] Could not index event to Elasticsearch. {:status=>400, :action=>["index", {:_id=>nil, :_index=>"f5-002-2018.07.06", :_type=>"doc", :_routing=>nil}, #<LogStash::Event:0x2373a721>], :response=>{"index"=>{"_index"=>"f5-002-2018.07.06", "_type"=>"doc", "_id"=>"hGDYb2QBpfUnuaeQN_7m", "status"=>400, "error"=>{"type"=>"mapper_parsing_exception", "reason"=>"object mapping for [host] tried to parse field [host] as object, but found a concrete value"}}}}

GET /_cat/templates/f5*?v&s=name:asc
name  index_patterns order version
f5    [f5-001-*]     0     
f5ecs [f5-002-*]     0     

And my pipeline:

input {
    udp {
        type => 'syslog-f5'
        port => 5548
        id => 'input-syslog-f5'
    }
}
filter {
    grok {
        patterns_dir => "/etc/logstash/patterns"
        match => [ "message", "\A<%{POSINT:syslog_pri}>%{SYSLOGTIMESTAMP:syslog_timestamp} (slot1\/)?%{HOSTNAMEUND:host.name} %{LOGLEVEL:event.severity} %{DATA:syslog_program}(?:\[%{POSINT:syslog_pid}\])?: %{GREEDYDATA:syslog_message}\Z" ]
        add_tag => "grok_f5"
        id => 'grok-syslog-f5'
    } 
    translate {
        dictionary_path => [ "/etc/logstash/dictionaries/syslogpri.yml" ]
        field => "syslog_pri"
        destination => "log.level"
        id => 'translate-log-level'
    }
}
output {
    elasticsearch {
        index => "f5-002-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
        hosts => ["https://srvlogstashqa01.gentgrp.gent.be:9200"]
        manage_template => false
        user => "logstash_internal"
        password => "${LOGSTASH_INTERNAL}"
        document_type => doc
    }
}

the f5 template for f5-001-* still has a ‘host’ field, but shouldn’t interfer as the my new f5ecs template applies to a different index?. I’m not sure what’s going wrong here, will have to investigate further, but I thought I throw it in here, it might be related to the way I refer to the host object in my pipeline?

I apologize for the inconvenience, but this is an Elasticsearch usage question, and should be asked at https://discuss.elastic.co.

GitHub should be used for reporting bugs, suggesting improvement and opening pull requests.

Adding

    mutate {
      remove_field => [ "host" ]
    }

solved my issue. Thanks. I’ll go ahead and close this. Tx @webmat @praseodym
