Hi,

i want to modify the default Nginx Access pipeline in order to add new fields.  
In order to test the pipeline before using it to my Production environment i though of creating a new pipeline and test using this one.  
So to start i just copied the /usr/share/filebeat/module/nginx/access/ingest/default.json to a new file and hit  
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -XPUT [http://172.28.162.21:9200/\_ingest/pipeline/test-nginx-access](http://172.28.162.21:9200/_ingest/pipeline/test-nginx-access) -d@enhanced.json **strong text**

This gives me the following parsing error

> {"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"parse\_exception","reason":"Failed to parse content to map"}],"type":"parse\_exception","reason":"Failed to parse content to map","caused\_by":{"type":"json\_parse\_  
> exception","reason":"Unexpected character ('{' (code 123)): was expecting double-quote to start field name\n at [Source: org.elasticsearch.transport.netty4.ByteBufStreamInput@689fd676; line: 1,

And the question is how the default.json is not a well formatted JSON that i can use as a starting point?
