Hi there,  
I checked Logstash reference and some tutorials about Mysql -\> Logstash -\> Elasticsearch data migration scenario, but I still have some questions to answer. (Mysql 5.7, Elasticsearch 5.4)  
I have table "pre\_build\_content", which has column "content". This column is JSON type - it contains valid JSON data object. Is it possible to pass data from json column of Mysql table to Elasticsearch using Logstash (if yes, how) ?  
Turorials and examples for Mysql-\>Logstash-\>Elastic scenarios use json codec, which transfers fetched data to json format - in my situation I already have json stored in DB.  
Please, could you give me example of configuration file of logstash to fulfill my requirements ?  
Thank you.

Use a json filter to deserialize the JSON string stored in one of the columns from the result set.
