My elastic node is not indexing my filebeat correctly. The index is showing up as "%{[@metadata][beat]}-

I have attached all my configs for further investigation. Any help is appreciate it!

I think you'll have more luck asking this in the beats section. Sorry!

What if you put a stdout and include metadata?

Add a `stdout { codec => rubydebug { metadata => true } }` to the output section to show the event with metadata.
