I am storing log files in Elasticsearch indexes via Filebeat and logstash.  
And I also use metricbeat to monitor the stack.

In this case, the "event.original" field is automatically stored in the index."

If you know how to avoid storing "event.original" or how to remove it afterwards, please let me know.

Elasticsearch version:8.1.0
