I am stashing jenkins logs from filbeat to ELK stack. I have taken the reference of this logstash.conf file.

 ![filter_plugin](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/1/c11bab853ff3dea5df9864ef85817c479f9010dd.jpeg)

I need to add the _type =\> jenkins-server_ ( **highlighted in red** ) to my filebeat.yml for better filtering. I have tried to add it but its not working.

Can anyone help me in adding this to my filebeat.yml.

In my guess, I have to override the type =\> log in filebeat.yml.  
Please help here.
