Hi, I have implemented logstash as below: Beats --\> Logstash --\> Kafka --\> Logstash --\> Elasticsearch+Kibana However, While sending data directly from Beats --\> Logstash --\> Elasticsearch, I can see all fields related to beats like beat.hostname etc etc. But when I am trying Beats --\> Logstash --\> Kafka --\> Logstash --\> Elasticsearch+Kibana. I can't see any information related to beats. Is beats information lost while sending logs from Beats --\> Logstash --\> Kafka --\> Logstash --\> Elasticsearch+Kibana The only information I can see is original message i.e message, \_type in Elasticsearch + kibana. Anyone please help me whats happening here is ALL information not coming from Logstash+Kafka to ElasticSearch? Thanks. ---
