Hello ELK gurus,  
i'm completing my company's cluster configuration but now i have one big issue.

I have grok patterns configured like this:

```
grok {
  #portal.redirector-access
   match => { "message" => "%{DATA:faceserver} %{DATA:portal}: %{DATA:app_portal} %{IP:ip} - - - %{NUMBER:response} %{GREEDYDATA:request} %{NUMBER:ask1} \"%{GREEDYDATA:url}\"" }
   add_field => {
   "type" => "portal.redirector-access"
    }
}

```

Even if i remove the "add\_field" lines, i still have logs coming in ES with type attached.  
I also tried:

```
mutate {
   remove_field => ["type"]
}

```

... but doesn't work either.  
Any suggestions ? Am i missing something ?

Thanks a lot!
