Hello Team,  
Good noon!

Recently, I've upgraded my Logstash to 8.11.3 version. Starting from Logstash 8.11 version, Logstash Integration Plugin is available. I was trying to use the Logstash input plugin to receive the data from another Logstash.

as per the elastic documentation, we can use the \*\* `add_field`\*\* and **id** in the logstash input plugin and that will add the filed to the every event.

But, **add\_filed and Id** is not getting added in the event. Here attaching my logstash config, could you please someone check and help me to resolve this issue?

Elastic documentation link: [Logstash input plugin | Logstash Reference [8.12] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/8.12/plugins-inputs-logstash.html)

Logstash config:

```auto
input {
    logstash {
      port => 9801
      host => "0.0.0.0"
      ssl_enabled => false
      id => "logstash-0"
      add_field => { 
          "from_other_logstash" => "yes"
      }
    }
}
filter {
    mutate {
      add_field => {
       "data_coming_from" => "Logstash-8"
      }
    }
}
output {
    stdout {
        codec => rubydebug {
            metadata => true
        }
    }
}

```

Thanks  
Siva

Hi Team,

One more observation, Adding tags is also not working in the Logstash input plugin. Can someone please help resolve this issue?

Find the input config below.

```auto
input {
    logstash {
      port => 9801
      host => "0.0.0.0"
      ssl_enabled => false
      id => "logstash-0"
      add_field => { 
          "from_other_logstash" => "yes"
      }
     tags => ["logstashData"] 

    }
}

```

thanks in advance!  
Siva

Just tested here and it also does not add the fields or tags, you will need to open an github issue.

Or this is a bug, or the documentation is wrong and the common options does not work in this case.

This is the [repo](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-integration-logstash) for this input/output.

You are right, the input does not call `decorate`, so the common options like add\_field do not work. An [issue](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-integration-logstash/issues/20) for this was opened this morning.

The id option does not add an [id] field to the event, it is used by the [pipeiine stats](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/node-stats-api.html#pipeline-stats) API to tell you which plugin the stats refer to. Useful if you have more than one plugin of the same type.
