Hey guys, My name is Jacob and im using filebeat for our log collections with ELK stack.  
ELK is amazing but we have a problem we have a lot of fields like "host.os.name" or "host.os.platform" that we don't need, How can I configure it?

Hey,

you can use the include\_fields option in the processor section

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/7.4/include-fields.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/7.4/include-fields.html)

Just add the fields you like and anything else will be gone.
