In order to control how fields are mapped you need to create [an index template](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/index-templates.html).

Logstash configuration can change how the data being sent to Elasticsearch is structured, but does not control how the fields are mapped once Elasticsearch receives the data.
