logspout-logstash with 6.0.0 fails with a mapper parsing exception about logspout-logstash

This must be related to logstash-plugins/logstash-output-elasticsearch#666

I have managed to solve my issue with

curl 'http://localhost:9200/_template'
curl -XDELETE 'http://localhost:9200/_template/logstash'

curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/_template/logstash?pretty' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
