When I installed filebeat in a linux server I enabled nginx module. In Discover, I can see all the nginx fields but they are ALL empty. My configuration is as follows:
input {
beats:...
}
filter {
...
}
output {
elasticsearch ....
}
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

It seems like adding the filter in logstash solved the problem. [Use Logstash pipelines for parsing | Logstash Reference [7.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/logstash-config-for-filebeat-modules.html)
