Cannot remove field with ingest processor

I believe this is happening because the notation used is interpreted as a JSON object path. For example, take a look at flat_settings.

I believe that the processor is expecting your document to look something like this:

{
      "_index": "original-index-2020.11",
      "_type": "_doc",
      "_id": "7K27Bas23a",
      "_version": 1,
      "_score": null,
      "_source": {
        "http”: {
            "request": {
                "auth": "-",
                "uri": "/xxxxx"
            }
        },
        "test": {
          "type": "SOFTWARE",
     
          "status": true
        },
...

Here’s a seemingly related forum post How to handle dot in field names in ES 7.0.

I think you may have to change the field names.
