Hi there,  
I am trying to configure nginx ingestion using grok patterns and facing issues: all the documents online including the [elastic.io](http://elastic.io) are suggesting the good old "document\_type" directive but then in the later realeases of filebeat this directive is removed per the filebeat reference manual.

Now while here and there there are alternative configs suggestions I seem not to be able to overcome this issue.  
Can somebody direct me to what config I must put in my filebeat-logstash to make it work ?  
Appreciate your reply
