Hello! Actually, could you let me know what versions of elkstack and elasticsearch (cookbooks) you're on?

[tiago-cruz-movile]

Hello @martinb3,

The vestions are:

"name":"elkstack","version":"6.0.4"
"name":"elasticsearch","version":"2.1.0"

I did the knife cookbook site install elkstack yesterday, so I think that I'm using the latest versions

Also, there is no version elasticsearch ~> 0.3.14 here:
https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/elasticsearch

Thanks a lot!

[martinb3]

elkstack is pinned to a much older version of the Elasticsearch cookbook via the metadata.rb. It won't be compatible with "name":"elasticsearch","version":"2.1.0".
