Hello all.
I collect the network packet data through the 'tshark' and then the packet is filtered through logstash.
But there are a lot of fields in packet data so when I see data in the elasticsearch, there are a lot of fields those are not need to use.
I only need timestamp, ip, port, http response. How to remove the other fields?
(I used elasticsearch mapping in dev tools(kibana) but all the fields are still appear.)
Thank you.

Hey,
I think you are looking for the [Logstash Pruning filter](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-prune.html).
