Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch is unable to parse a schedule due to an unexpected field. This usually happens when there’s a syntax error or an incorrect field in the cron expression of the schedule. To resolve this issue, you should first verify the cron expression syntax. Make sure it follows the correct format and doesn’t contain any invalid characters or fields. If the syntax is correct, check if the field causing the error is supported in your Elasticsearch version. If it’s not, you may need to update your Elasticsearch version or remove the unsupported field.
