You are trying to ingest the log output from Auditbeat? I suggest configuring the Beat to output JSON logs. That should make it easier to parse.

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/auditbeat/current/configuration-logging.html#\_logging\_json](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/auditbeat/current/configuration-logging.html#_logging_json)

`logging.json: true`
