Hi all,  
i've a log like this :  
log: "{  
"time": 1539591679770,  
"msg": "Connection is OK.",  
"checkCompleteInfo": {  
"details": "12345",  
"value" : 2  
}  
}"

After applying json filter to the log field, all the fields are extracted ( also details inside the checkCompleteInfo).  
There's a way to configure logtsash json filter to define the level of parsing?  
I want to extract as fields only the first json level , so

- "Time": "1539591679770"
- "msg": "Connection is OK."
- "checkCompleteInfo" : " "details"": "12345","value":2"

and not

- "Time": "1539591679770"
- "msg": "Connection is OK."
- "checkCompleteInfo.details" : "12345"
- "checkCompleteInfo.value" : "2"

Thanks
