Hi  
I am looking for some help with elk. I got some logs from an elk instance that I can't get acces to. It consists of the \_index,\_id and message fields. Message field contains further nested fields. I would like to load this into my elk instance but don't know how. I used simple logstash filter script which works fine but the message fields didn't parsed out like it should be. Is there any way it can be loaded.  
Thanks
