                    hosts => ["192.168.1.1:9200"]
                    index => "my_index"
                    query_template => "/logstash/my_query.json"
                     aggregation_fields => 
                     {
                     "seqnumber" => "find_seqnumber"

This is weird. What version of LS? What version of the elasticsearch filter?

`bin/logstash-plugin list --verbose --group filter`

This is the kind of output the bin/logstash-plugin list command prints `logstash-filter-elasticsearch (3.3.0)`

`aggregation_fields` was only added recently in v3.3.0. You should be able to upgrade to that version.  
See this list. [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash-versioned-plugins/current/filter-elasticsearch-index.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash-versioned-plugins/current/filter-elasticsearch-index.html)
