Hello, we use filebeat to ship the logs from server to graylog. I saw that filebeat has an apache module, I try that but it looks like that it doesn't work. It looks like that it doesn't parse and add extra fields. I change the log-file format to the recommendation from documentation and also change the path. On start i catch the logfiles but I see in graylog just the normal logs no fancy extra fields like **`apache2.access.method`**. Is it a filebeat or graylog problem? ---

Neither. Most modules including the Apache module does the parsing and normalization in the elasticsearch ingest pipelines. Filebeat is just reading the logs and pushing them to elasticsearch. ---
