Hello, is there any plan to add multiple fields instead of @message/message ?  
Because in my case to avoid redundant fields we drop the message field when the message is parsed.

You can configure the message field here: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/26579/files#diff-3d8e25bfa60ef76c1ce7b5e7a68232f2R9](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/26579/files#diff-3d8e25bfa60ef76c1ce7b5e7a68232f2R9) Hope this will end up soon in our docs so I could send you there directly. Hope this helps.
