Hi @Nicolas_Rey ,

I looked into this again and applied the solution I found here: [Outputting service.name instead of / alongside context.service.name](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/outputting-service-name-instead-of-alongside-context-service-name/169088)

With that, you can create an alias for the field you already have `metadata.service.name` to `service.name`.

I tested this with my sample application and it looks promising:

(_note_: I aliased from `fields.service.name` to `service.name`)

Maybe @Martijn_Laarman has a better solution but this is the workaround I can suggest at the moment.

Cheers,  
Wolfgang
