Nginx-ingress grok expression does not handle multiple upstreams

If nginx-ingress retries multiple upstreams, the grok expression does not parse it correctly and manifested as missing data when we knew errors were happening.

This is on filebeat 7.8.0, but issue does not appear to be resolved in 7.9.0.

Sanitised log output:

2 upstreams attempted

The response code the client sees, as well as the last upstream should be used as http.response.status_code and nginx.ingress_controller.upstream.ip/port, but I'm not super sure how the other status codes and upstreams should be emitted. I don't think it should be thrown away, however.

Hey @chendo welcome to discuss :slight_smile:

This looks like an issue with current pipeline, could you please create a new issue? It'd be great if you can provide some example logs in the issue.

Thanks for reporting!
