The Monitoring Bulk API (`POST _xpack/monitoring/_bulk`) does not interpret `_type` in the bulk metadata the same was as the regular Bulk API (`POST _bulk`). In the case of the Monitoring Bulk API, `_type` has a special meaning. It does not correspond to the Elasticsearch document `_type` but rather a `type` field within monitoring documents. The `_type` of those monitoring documents gets automatically set to `_doc` by the Monitoring Bulk API. Therefore, the Beats monitoring code should always send `_type` to the Monitoring Bulk API. (cherry picked from commit ac72b5c)
