Hi,  
I'm using **winlogbeat** to publish event logs to **logstash**. I mean that the output from winlogbeat is for **another** machine that runs logstash. The plugin is :  
input {  
# tcp {  
# port =\> 12345

```
	# }

	beats {
		port=> 6666
	}
}

filter {
	mutate { rename => { "message" => "forensic"} }

}
output {
	stdout{}
}

```

I want the **original** log sent from **winlogbeat** , including **all** existing fields. Usually the field "message" contain the entire log . the problem is the field "message is already _ **occupied** _ by winlogbeat with different data, and when i do :  
`mutate { rename => { "message" => "forensic"} }`

I don't get the entire log , but only the field that winlogbeat occupied with some different data rather then the **entire** original log. how can I get the original log sent from winlogbeat?
