Github user justinleet commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/metron/pull/619 As a note, this ticket is slightly impacted by the metaalerts backend ticket (https://github.com/apache/metron/pull/734). The alerts field in the various templates should be removed and the search queries for meta alerts updated according to https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-sort.html#_ignoring_unmapped_fields, in order to allow for searches against metaalerts without having to have an alert field in each template.
