Run this script in Node 8.10, rather than Node 10.X by default.

@eph6666 Thank you!

Replace line 81 to 84 by flowing code if you see error log:'Rejecting mapping update to [] as the final mapping would have more than 1 type'

        var action = { "index": {} };
        var index_str = indexName+'-'+payload.logGroup;
        action.index._index = index_str.replace(/\//g,'-');
        action.index._type = payload.logGroup;
        action.index._id = logEvent.id;

You can insert flowing code to see error log after line 171:
console.log(info)
