@tactics Can you provide some link that mentions that aliases are getting deprecated and the reasons behind this movie? I have just created a new discussion thread regarding this as the missing field mapping aliases are confusing for first-time users, see my full report [Filebeat versions from 7.0 - 7.8 fail to create alias field mappings for majority of modules](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/filebeat-versions-from-7-0-7-8-fail-to-create-alias-field-mappings-for-majority-of-modules/242874).
