I have 7.17v version, i see the apache server logs in filebeat kibana dashboard. But it gives the message with event.original instead of message. when i try to write a lucene query to search all GET req for example, it doesnt show any.  
Basically it is not able to fetch if it is named as event.original. Could someone please suggest
