Hi @jerrac,

this is an awesome list. Thanks so much for putting it together. It's very valuable input for our planning discussions.

> So, I've split my postfix logs out into some fields, but now a lot of the log lines in the logs stream are blank... It'd be awesome if we could say "show this field in the stream".

The Logs UI stream assumes an [ECS](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/ecs/current/index.html) compliant mapping, so it primarily tries to display the `message` field. Granted, there are some heuristics to pull in data from other fields, but I'd recommend to avoid these. In addition to the `message` field you should be able to add any other field as a column to the Logs UI stream via its settings page.
