After a long day I´ve found out, that logstash was not the right place for my configuration. My answer was here: [Parse JSON data with filebeat - #3 by calmandniceperson](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/parse-json-data-with-filebeat/80008/3)

This configuration for filebeat.prospectors finally solved my problem.

> [@Parse JSON data with filebeat](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/parse-json-data-with-filebeat/80008/4):
>
> filebeat.prospectors:
> 
> - paths:
> - test.json  
> input\_type: log  
> json.keys\_under\_root: true  
> json.add\_error\_key: true

@magnusbaeck nevertheless thank you for your answer!
