I was searching for this porblem but I don`t find resolved.  
On my every log in Logstash I have tag "beats\_input\_codec\_plain\_applied".

I`m add some my tags and this tag is very confusing.  
Tag is my very important field and I want to delete this. How can I do this ?

I am use ELK stack.

Try this:

```
filter {
    if "beats_input_codec_plain_applied" in [tags] {
        mutate {
            remove_tag => ["beats_input_codec_plain_applied"]
        }
    }
}
```

I have this problem too.

I think you kan set filebeat `fields_under_root: false` or change add field name.
