Hi,

I have added the below mutate filter for adding IP address in winlogbeat index.

mutate{  
add\_field =\> { "remote\_ip" =\> "%{[@metadata][ip\_address]}" }  
}

But it's not getting the output as expected. It's showing like this- "remote\_ip": "%{[@metadata][ip\_address]}",

Can someone please help me to solve this.

I don't believe Winlogbeat adds the IP address of the host in the `[@metadata][ip_address]` field.

Thanks for your reply.

now I am getting only the hostname. How can I get the IP address? Can you please shed some light on this.

Have a look at the dns filter.
