Hi, I have json logs which I need to ship to redis and logstash via filebeat.

For the case I have a field named message inside my json string, I was asking myself if it is possible to let filebeat use the field `filebeat.myinput` instead of `message` for the log line payload.

I checked the docs, but I did not find the correct configuration variable. Can anyone help?

Thanks, Andreas
