Elasticsearch：缺少Content-Type标头

Question

I am ingesting data in AWS Elasticsearch (v 6.3) using python 2.7 and while adding data(json) I am getting

response: {"error":"Content-Type header is missing","status":406}...message: {"error":"Content-Type header is missing","status":406}

I have installed latest elasticsearch lib with pip install elasticsearch .

I am ingesting the json files of AWS Config snapshot.

Starting with ES 6.0 Content-Type header is obligatory . If you are using this script then the aforementioned elasticsearch python library changes nothing since this script does not use this library.

As a workaround, you could use AWS Elasticsearch 5.6 (should work until you figure out how to send Content-Type header). If you can edit the script, consider setting headers manually (good example can be found here ). Also see this answer .

Hope that helps!
