I am trying to send data to PageDuty side using PagerDuty plugin in Logstash output plugin.  
I want to insert data into the "payload" field of PagerDuty, but when I use the PagerDuty plugin, the data goes into the "details" field.  
Is there any way to insert data into "payload"?  
(logstash outputplugins 8.6)

I haven't used PageDuty and don't have .conf which you are using.

Have you tried to use rename or copy:  
`mutate { copy => { "details" => "payload" } }`

I don't think so. The [code](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-output-pagerduty/blob/3cc99767f423dd69bfabaf3d9d355b1dc7a88819/lib/logstash/outputs/pagerduty.rb#L58) has :details hardwired.

The pagerduty output plugin can transfer data assuming v1([https://developer.pagerduty.com/api-reference/f0037990796c8-send-an-event-to-pager-duty](https://developer.pagerduty.com/api-reference/f0037990796c8-send-an-event-to-pager-duty)),  
but how should I modify the output plugin to specify a value for Pager v2([https://developer.pagerduty.com/api-reference/368ae3d938c9e-send-an-event-to-pager-duty](https://developer.pagerduty.com/api-reference/368ae3d938c9e-send-an-event-to-pager-duty)) that has a payload part?
