afternoon My poller reads from a source where the array that I wish to be the source of the Elasticsearch output plugin in not the parent and not the only property. How can I either filter appropriately OR instruct the Elasticsearch output plugin to ignore other properties and pull from the array that is nested? I thank you ---

Possibly some combination of a prune filter to remove unwanted fields, and a mutate filter to move the interesting array to the top level. Without seeing an example of the data it is hard to say. ---
