Hi, I was wondering if it's Kibana's feature or Elasticsearch's. I see Kibana displaying one message but in two files like this:

Can it be turned off and how?  
I really tried to figure it out myself but couldn't.  
Thanx in advance.

This is most likely a Logstash question. How is the `file` field populated?

All logs are sent to logstash by logstash-forwarder, like this:

"files": [  
{  
"paths": [  
"/vipprduser1/vip/crm/crmapp1/JEE/CRMProduct/logs/CRMDomain/CRMServer\*/clfylog\_CRMServer\*.log"  
],  
"fields": { "type": "crmclfylog" }  
}

then I parse it in logstash like this:

filter {  
if [type] == "crmclfylog" or [type] == "bapclfylog" or [type] == "igclfylog" {  
multiline {  
pattern =\> "^\d{4}:\d{2}:\d{2}"  
negate =\> true  
what =\> "previous"  
}  
grok {  
pattern =\> ["JSession=%{NUMBER:JSession:int}"]  
}  
grok {  
match =\> ["file","%{GREEDYDATA}/clfylog\_%{GREEDYDATA:WLNode}_utf8_[0-9]{4}\_[0-9]{4,5}.log"]  
}

So file field was already there, I then just started using it to extract Node name from it.
