Thanks. I'm able to handle this with KV plugin. In my case I created nested field in logstash similar to here, [Best Way to create nested field](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/best-way-to-create-nested-field/26757)

Now I need to show this nested data in Kibana. I guess Kibana doesnt support nested field in 5.6.13. So earlier I was using copy\_to through java code. I need to use same copy\_to approach in logstash. Putting it simple, how can I create copy\_to fields in Logstash??
