Is there any way that I can link Elasticsearch error with my input logline so I can fix it? I'm trying to fix Elasticsearch event errors from large log file(500MB), so testing line by line is impossible.

Here is Eleasticsearch error that I got from Logstash output plugin:

> [2020-12-02T14:32:52,582][WARN][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch][main][892049105f255c3edd9d26bf17571cd57f34b7021cc626620a7f35c34dbf6e1b] Could not index event to Elasticsearch. {:status=\>400, :action=\>["index", {:\_id=\>nil, :\_index=\>"logstash\_ver15-2020.12.02", :routing=\>nil, :\_type=\>"\_doc"}, #LogStash::Event:0x68cf9f80], :response=\>{"index"=\>{"\_index"=\>"logstash\_ver15-2020.12.02", "\_type"=\>"\_doc", "\_id"=\>"zc7eI3YBes5tK59JyHzv", "status"=\>400, "error"=\>{"type"=\>"mapper\_parsing\_exception", "reason"=\>"failed to parse field [json.context.bindings] of type [text] in document with id 'zc7eI3YBes5tK59JyHzv'. Preview of field's value: '{a=1231}'", "caused\_by"=\>{"type"=\>"illegal\_state\_exception", "reason"=\>"Can't get text on a START\_OBJECT at 1:808"}}}}}`

Input log line that trigger that error:

> `{"message":"ddmsg_test11","context":{"bindings":[1,2,"test",{"a":1231}]},"level":200,"level_name":"INFO","channel":"local","datetime":{"date":"2020-12-02 09:32:48.266617","timezone_type":3,"timezone":"America/New_York"},"extra":[],"parid":"31156:0"}`

Logstash rubydebug output:

You can see input in rubydebug code block I posted above.
