Hi,
My log files are in this format :
[https://pastebin.com/6aWqWUiY](https://pastebin.com/6aWqWUiY)
so I use Filebeat to feed elasticsearch with my logs but when I create an index template in Kibana I have 305 fields and some are related to apache2, nginx, ...
I don't need all those fields so is it possible to remove them without using Logtash ?
Sorry for my bad English ^^

Which part is bad? No worries... I'm not native either. BTW as your name sounds french, you might want to know that we have a dedicated forum en français in #Discussions en français

You can probably modify the template in filebeat by changing `fields.yml`.
