I am currently writing a custom Beat using libbeat, and while I am able to build it, etc, and send data to my ElasticSearch cluster, I cannot get it to generate a real mapping based on the contents of fields.yml.
I have gone through every yml file involved, and they're all valid. When I run make update it is generating a correct, valid root-level fields.yml file. But no matter what I do, it is generating an empty mapping when I run export template.
- key: netbeat
title: netbeat:
fields:
- name: snmp.host
Even this small amount isn't showing up.
I am receiving no errors at any point in the process, but it still is unable to generate a correct mapping. All I get is the default ILM-enabled mapping.
