Hi there!

I'm trying to ingest a json file from AWS s3 to ElasticSearch.

I've created an index with the mapping I need, but Logstash adds `@timestamp` , `@version` and puts the whole json file into `message`. How can I get **only the message field content** (ingest the raw json).

The thing is, if I add this logstash fields to the index mapping, I won't be able to use message's fields in the way I want to use them in **Kibana** as they would be `"nested_json"` type.

This is my logstash.conf:

```auto
input {
  s3 {
    access_key_id => "XXX"
    secret_access_key => "XXXXX"
    region => "eu-west-1"
    bucket => "XXXXX"
    interval => "10"
  }
}
 
output {
  elasticsearch {
    hosts => ["XXXXX"]
    index => "indiceprueba1"
    user => "XXXXX"
    password => "XXXXX"
  }
}

```

My index mapping looks like this:

```auto
PUT indiceprueba1 
{
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "callid": {
        "type": "text"
      },
      "cdidcli": {
        "type": "text"
      },
      "calldate": {
        "type": "date",
        "format": "year_month_day"
      },
      "conversation": {
        "type": "text"
      },
      "text_spk1": {
        "type": "text", 
        "term_vector": "yes", 
        "fielddata": true, 
        "store": true
      },
      "text_spk2": {
        "type": "text", 
        "term_vector": "yes", 
        "fielddata": true, 
        "store": true
      } 
    } 
  } 
}

```

I hope everything was explained clearly.

Thank you!

Brian

Use a json filter, or possibly a json codec on the input.
