You are using a deprecated config setting "document_type" set in elasticsearch

Hello All,

Fairly new to ELK stack I did encountered the following warning below during my setup.

'[WARN ][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch] You are using a deprecated config setting "document_type" set in elasticsearch. Deprecated settings will continue to work, but are scheduled for removal from logstash in the future. Document types are being deprecated in Elasticsearch 6.0, and removed entirely in 7.0.

Those are just deprecation warnings. For Elastic Stack 7.x an update will be necessary as I have recently completed for other solutions.

Thank you so much for the confirmation. I encountered a new error that I will be posting as a new ticket.
