I am a newbie to ELK so, Please bear with me,

I am using ELK with Filebeat for logging purpose. I am able to post logs and they are appearing in Kibana dicover.  
Now in the discover pane, I see lot of logs which is good. But the thing is that, it is adding some fields like below

date:12:43:32.036 offset:1,673,103 log\_level:DEBUG prospector.type:log source:C:\capi\source\capi\_fund\_transfers\capi-fund-transfer.log message:12:43:32.036 [restartedMain] [123254235345343543] DEBUG rgkjsnfgkjsdfkjgskjdfgn

Now I want to show only Message. How to do that?

Please help. Thanks in advance

From [Parsing logback log files with filebeat and sending them to Elasticsearch](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/parsing-logback-log-files-with-filebeat-and-sending-them-to-elasticsearch/49302)

> You can use Filebeat to ship the data to Logstash where you can apply a [grok filter](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-grok.html) to parse the log line. Then ship the data to Elasticsearch from Logstash. The Beats documentation has an [example](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/config-filebeat-logstash.html) of how to configure Filebeat to send to [Logstash](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/libbeat/1.2/logstash-installation.html#logstash-setup).
