Hi guys,

I'm trying to find a way to add a custom log format in the filebeat apache2 module.

My apache logs have the time taken to serve the request, which is important for me to know.

> Def. \> `%D` The time taken to serve the request, in microseconds.

> LogFormat "%h %l %u %t "%r" %\>s %b %D "%{Referer}i" "%{User-Agent}i"" combined

I checked the filebeat templat and has no room to fit this data, I'm wondering how and what's the best way to achieve this task.

Any help is appreciated!
