Hi,  
We're using Packetbeat to capture http traffic in Kubernetes Cluster. We've observed that there are duplicated http events even set `ignore_outgoing` to `true`.

Example as blow:

- same `network.community_id`, `source.ip`, `source.port`, `destination.ip`, `destination.port`
- the difference between these two event is `agent.hostname`, `hostname` and `node.name`
- the actually event is the one with `kubernetes.pod.uid` attached

My question is if there's any sort of method to avoid duplicated events?

the configuration:

```auto

packetbeat.interfaces.type: af_packet

packetbeat.ignore_outgoing: true

packetbeat.protocols:
- type: http
  enable: true
  send_all_headers: true
  split_cookie: true
  include_body_for: ["application/json", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"]

packetbeat.flows:
  timeout: 30s
  period: 10s

processors:
  - add_cloud_metadata:
  - add_kubernetes_metadata:
      host: ${NODE_NAME}
      indexers:
      - ip_port:
      matchers:
      - field_format:
          format: '%{[server.ip]}:%{[server.port]}'

```
