Hello,

I am using Filebeat 5.6 and sending several log files to logstash.  
For each log files, I want to add fields but it does not work : those fields does not appear in Kibana.

I have others fields at the the end of filebeat conf file, those fields appear in Kibana.

filebeat.prospectors:

- input\_type: log  
paths: ["/app/ple/e99/tomcat1/logs/localhost\_access\_log.\*"]  
tags: ["tomcat1"]  
fields:  
fmt: GBM\_MVT\_TOMCAT\_ACCESS

Could you help me on this please ?

Thanks a lot  
Best regards,  
Antoine

Could you please format your configuration using `</>`? It is possible you have a whitespace error in the config. Please also share your debug logs (`./filebeat -e -d "*"`).
