Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch tries to parse a date but encounters an unexpected format. The system expects an object with a specific structure for date-time data, but instead, it finds an empty object or a different format. To resolve this issue, you can: 1) Check the data you’re trying to index and ensure the date format matches the expected format. 2) Modify your mapping to correctly interpret the date format you’re using. 3) Use a date processor in an ingest pipeline to transform the date into a format Elasticsearch can understand.
