Hello,
I'm a light user of Filebeat.
According to the [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/exported-fields-nginx.html), the nginx.ingress\_controller collects the body size of the http request, but the nginx access module does not.
Why is there such a difference? Or am I just don't know how to?
(JFYI I want to use Filebeat into my VM, not k8s.)
It seems that request.length is not being processed in the ingest pipeline of the nginx.access module. Currently I can collect by modify ingest pipeline, but I think it is good to add into the filebeat's as a default.
