I am attempting to do what I think should be a simple ingest processor pipeline.

From filebeat I am doing the following

{  
"description": "OpenAM Authentication Access Logging",  
"processors": [{  
"set" : {  
"field": "type",  
"value": "amAuthentication.access\_pipeline"  
},  
"split": {  
"field": "message",  
"separator": "\t"  
},  
"set": {  
"field": "openam.data",  
"value": "{{message.1}}"  
}  
}  
],  
"on\_failure": [  
{  
"set": {  
"field": "error",  
"value": "{{ \_ingest.on\_failure\_message }}"  
}  
}  
]  
}

But my value in elasticsearch is

"openam": {  
"data": ""  
},

How can I access the individual array elements of the initial split?

Thanks  
Zach

I was hoping it would be the first element of the array returned from the split processor run on the message field.
