Hi,  
Im having a issue while indexing via filebeat httpjson to elastic

I have this configuration

```auto
filebeat.inputs:
- type: httpjson
  enabled: true
  config_version: 2
  fields_under_root: true
  json.keys_under_root: true
  json.overwrite_keys: true
  json.add_error_key: true
  processors:
    - decode_json_fields:
        fields: ["message"]
  interval: 5m
  request.url: https://endpoint/slowQueries
  request.proxy_url: http://proxy:8080
  request.transforms:
    - set:
        target: header.api-key
        value: 'key'
output.elasticsearch:
  enabled: true
  hosts: ["elastic:9200"]
  index: "mongoatlas-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}"
  username: "elastic"
  password: "xxxxxx"
logging.level: info
logging.selectors: ["*"]
setup.template.name: "mongoatlas"
setup.template.pattern: "mongoatlas-*"

```

The result from the endpoint is a valid JSON

```auto
{
  "process": "atlas-k2w8aa-shard-00-02.l48fp.mongodb.net:27017",
  "queries": []
}

```

This is the error that Im getting at ES

2022-03-08T17:06:47.236Z WARN [Elasticsearch] Elasticsearch/client.go:405 Cannot index event publisher.Event{Content:beat.Event{Timestamp:time.Time{wall:0xc08201298c05b3cd, ext:2576639853, loc:(\*time.Location)(0x55f47600d320)}, Meta:null, Fields:{"agent":{"ephemeral\_id":"ab754087-f546-47df-b0bc-f4747179be3e","hostname":"filebeat-mongodb-7c8dc6b4bc-gpgkj","id":"af2be906-c358-4bad-ab25-e18208150fbe","name":"filebeat-mongodb-7c8dc6b4bc-gpgkj","type":"filebeat","version":"7.14.1"},"ecs":{"version":"1.10.0"},"event":{"created":"2022-03-08T17:06:46.201Z"},"host":{"name":"filebeat-mongodb-7c8dc6b4bc-gpgkj"},"input":{"type":"httpjson"},"message":{"process":"[atlas-k2w8aa-shard-00-02.l48fp.mongodb.net:27017](http://atlas-k2w8aa-shard-00-02.l48fp.mongodb.net:27017)","queries":}}, Private:interface {}(nil), TimeSeries:false}, Flags:0x1, Cache:publisher.EventCache{m:common.MapStr(nil)}} (status=400): {"type":"mapper\_parsing\_exception","reason":"failed to parse field [message] of type [text] in document with id '-qt\_an8BK1CtvcLQYWlD'.

[Can't get text on a START\_OBJECT](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/cant-get-text-on-a-start-object/244340) has some places to start on this.

Mark, the json is valid i can make the query to the remote endpoint and parse it with jq or any other json parser, filebeat has an issue reading It.  
And if I send the stream to logstash and It didn't complain about It.
