Hi Guys,

I am trying to upload a log file in the ElasticSearch engine using the PUT command. But it is showing me the below-given error.

$ curl -X PUT http://ElasticEngineIP:9200/mylogdb --data-binary @log.json 
{"error":"Content-Type header [application/x-www-form-urlencoded] is not supported","status":406}

Hi@akhtar,

In your command, you have to mention the Content-Type of your log file. You can use the below-given command.

$ curl -X PUT -H 'Content-Type: application/json' http://ElasticEngineIP:9200/mylogdb --data-binary @log.json

I hope this will help you.
