Why do I need to make these "mappings" for elastic-search?
If I need them, how do I make these "mappings"?
I'm using elastic 6.0 on mac with logstash and kibana.

If I'm understand right - you asking about mapping
From your question it impossible to understand what the core of your problem, and why this question is asked, but in short:
No, you don't need to define mappings if you don't know what the mappings does. ElasticSearch have Dynamic Mapping:
"new field names will be added automatically, just by indexing a document."
