New to Elasticsearch. How can we get the "host" field, as seen below in the sample from Wireshark, so we can view the data in Kibana?

Hypertext Transfer Protocol  
GET /some/url  
**Host: [www.someservername.com](http://www.someservername.com)\r\n**  
\<Host: [www.someservername.com](http://www.someservername.com)\r\n\>  
Connection: Keep-Alive\r\n  
\<Connection: Keep-Alive\r\n\>  
Accept-Encoding: gzip\r\n  
\<Accept-Encoding: gzip\r\n\>  
[HTTP request 1/1]  
[Response in frame: 162]

I guess you're meaning the Host header field? Have you tried to enable `send_all_headers` in the HTTP plugin?
