Hello guys. I would like to ask if it is possible to take a section of the path field in logstash and create a new field where i can put it . For example the path fiel come out like this: "path" : "/home/data/pr/number/place" and i want to add anothe field to my data called ticket so i want this field to take a value pr, which is part of the path. Also i would like to ask how i can take the data that i would have queried in elastic search and use it for other things. thank youHello guys.
