Hello, I'm using latest beats, but my log format is json,

```auto
{"log.level":"info","@timestamp":"2023-04-26T15:59:22.412+0800","log.origin":{"file.name":"instance/beat.go","file.line":779},"message":"Home path: [/Users/evan/go/src/github.com/beats/filebeat] Config path: [/Users/evan/go/src/github.com/beats/filebeat] Data path: [/Users/evan/go/src/github.com/beats/filebeat/data] Logs path: [/Users/evan/go/src/github.com/beats/filebeat/logs]","service.name":"filebeat","ecs.version":"1.6.0"}
{"log.level":"info","@timestamp":"2023-04-26T15:59:22.413+0800","log.origin":{"file.name":"instance/beat.go","file.line":787},"message":"Beat ID: d246d7f0-3e2b-4eb6-86e9-8090783e5f3a","service.name":"filebeat","ecs.version":"1.6.0"}

```

I assume that the format you want to achieve is for your app's log file (as thats the only thing that would make sense). This has nothig to do with `filebeat`, you have to conffigure logging library/framework that your app uses for logging.
