Hide
Before this update, forwarding logs to an external ES v8.x produced an error in the collector pods stating "unknown parameter [_type]". With this update, the optional "Version" field has been added under the Elasticsearch logStore specification. This field prevents the error by adding "suppress_type_name = true" to the vector config file for ES versions 7.x and higher.
