hi,
I want to send logs through ingest pipeline to rename them to a different name, now the pipeline does look like its running but the names arent changing.
if i try it with a random file from the index it said it worked and has all the processors check and green but the names just doesnt want to change
i try to deliver logs from hayabusa so every log has a different set of fields
tnx for every help i can get

Hi @Shahar_Argov Welcome to the community
We would like to help but you are going to have to provide a lot more detail
What Version are you on?
What / How are you ingesting the file Agent / Beats / OTEL etc
How are you trying to rename?
Please share the ingest pipelines / sample documents etc.
What do you mean rename.. rename the fields?
Provide more info perhaps someone can help

the elastic version is 8.19
i just upload the csv straight to the elastic and use a pipeline to ingest it
i am trying to rename using the rename processor
```auto
[
{"dot_expander": {"field":"*"}},
{
"fingerprint":{
"fields":["Computer","EventID","Timestamp","RuleTitle"]
"target_field":"_id",
"method":"MD5"
},
{
"rename":{
"ignore_failure": true,
"ignore_missing": true,
"field":"Computer",
"target_field":"host.name"
}
},
{
"rename":{
"ignore_failure": true,
"ignore_missing": true,
"field":"RuleTitle",
"target_field":"rulename"
}
},
```
this is a sample from the ingest pipeline
i want to change the field name so it will be in sync with all the other indices

Can you share a sample of your document so this can be replicated?
