Feature Request
Support for Elasticsearch 6.x for output plugins.
Current behavior:
Not available
Desired behavior:
Support ES6.x release
Use case:
new version of ES 6.x does not support types in mapping any more and it affects monitoring.
FYI current output works on ES 6.x but with warnings on ES side like:
[WARN ][o.e.d.i.m.AllFieldMapper ] [_all] is deprecated in 6.0+ and will be removed in 7.0. As a replacement, you can use [copy_to] on mapping fields to create your own catch all field.
As for the mapping type the current plugin uses a single type (which is still supported for indices created on 6.x), thus unless the indexes are shared with other applications it will work.
Definitely the support for ES 6.x could be improved, and also to prepare for ES 7.0 breaking changes
