hi @Vikneswar,

Since this relates to data-ingestion, I think this is more of a Logstash question, and would take it over there. [https://discuss.elastic.co/c/logstash](https://discuss.elastic.co/c/logstash).

From the Kibana end, you might be able to work-around it. You can concatenate the individual fields into a single one by creating a Scripted Field: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/scripted-fields.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/scripted-fields.html).
