Question

Hi Guys,

I am trying to upload my log data in the ElasticSearch engine. But I am getting this below error. 

$ curl -X PUT -H 'Content-Type: application/json' http://ElasticSearchIP:9200/mylogdb --data-binary @log.json 
{"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"parse_exception","reason":"unknown key [index] for create index"}],"type":"parse_exception","reason":"unknown key [index] for create index"},"status":400}

Can anyone help me to solve this error?

Hi@akhtar,

As you are trying to upload your complete log in one go, so you need to use _bulk keyword in your command. You can use the below-given command.

$ curl -X PUT -H 'Content-Type: application/json' http://ElasticSearchIP:9200/mylogdb/_bulk --data-binary @log.json 

I hope this will help.
