Indexing simple json at filebeats 7.2

[taka-h (Maeda Atsushi)]

I'd like to store some JSON log file to Elasticsearch and index log easily.

filebeat.inputs:
- type: log
  enabled: true
  paths:
    - /var/log/sample/*.log
  json.keys_under_root: true
  json.add_error_key: true

setup.template.name: "sample"
setup.template.fields: "fields.yml"
setup.template.pattern: "sample-*"
setup.template.overwrite: "true"

output.elasticsearch:
  hosts: ["localhost:9200"]
  enabled: true
  index: "sample"

example log

{"time":"2019-07-02T16:52:29.62+0900","remote_addr":"10.0.12.5","uri":"/list_account"}

- key: sample
  title: "sample"
  fields:
    - name: "time"
      type: "date"
    - name: remote_addr
      type: "ip"
    - name: uri
      type: "keyword"

I expect that Iog is stored with index, but there are some problems

(1) Index is not created as expected name

filebeat export template
{
  "index_patterns": [
    "filebeat-7.2.0-*"
  ],
...

(2) log is parsed and stored as _source in the default index(filebeat-7.2.0-*)

How should I do to store the above simple JSON with index?

Welcome! Sorry, could you clarify -- are you trying to save your logs to sample and it's getting put in filebeat-* instead, or are you not seeing the right logs at all? It sounds like the former but I wanted to make sure. As for your second question, saving the original input in _source is usually the right thing to do, is your problem that you want to remove _source or that the fields are not otherwise being indexed?

Thank you for your reply.

I'd like to store logs to sample.
Logs seems to be stored into default index filebeat-*

saving the original input in _source is usually the right thing to do, is your problem that you want to remove _source or that the fields are not otherwise being indexed?

maybe 'the fields are not otherwise being indexed'
I'd like to fields get indexed, but I can't understand whether my output index setting is wrong or fields.yml is wrong.
