Hi All, I am new to elastic stack. I have implemented ELK stack using docker. The other teams have started feeding there logs to my logstash. one team in particular feeding logs through Jenkins using Logstash plugin ([https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Logstash+Plugin](https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Logstash+Plugin) and [https://jenkins.io/doc/pipeline/steps/logstash/](https://jenkins.io/doc/pipeline/steps/logstash/)). I am reciving data on my Elastic stack. I have created a seperate indeces for Jenkins data, based on Host. below is the example curl 'localhost:9200/\_cat/indices?v' |grep jenkins\* % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 3625 100 3625 0 0 20671 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 20714 yellow open jenkins-2018.12.27 9Fnf-9kZRBmJNeVj0V9iLw 1 1 49 0 137.3kb 137.3kb yellow open jenkins uwCNVIJRQA618bgSL0u7hQ 5 1 147 0 334.2kb 334.2kb yellow open jenkins-2018.12.26 2zQLqP8fQXq7bTZPh0\_wdw 5 1 49 0 98.8kb 98.8kb Now the issue is the message feild of the data reccived from Jenkins has over 100K of strings (13MB), which makes querying on Kibana slow and it crashes. I would need some suggestions how do i break the Messages data into smaller chunks so that querying becomes eaiser ---
