Hi , Everyone

I have a question want to ask.

When i use logstash,elk, kibana show Jboss log message .On kibana the \_source show message like this:

{ "@timestamp": "2015-10-30T06:23:09.282Z", "message": "2015-10-30 14:23:09,282 DEBUG [org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.method.annotation.RequestMappingHandlerMapping] (http-/0.0.0.0:8080-8) Did not find handler method for [/image/ocommon/logo.png]", "@version": "1", "host": "10.172.0.10", "path": "/home/mfs/Jboss/10.172.0.10/server.log", "type": "jboss\_log", "tags": ["jboss\_60"], "time\_event": "2015-10-30 14:23:09,282", "loglevel": "DEBUG"

if i only want to let \_source show "message", and remove other like @version, tags

how to configure it?

You can't, `_source` is an ES field and contains everything that was in the original message.
