Hello,

I am using heartbeat 6.5.3  
can you please let me know a way or workaround to **add field** in my output.  
Asking coz I am not able to find a way to add a field in this version in the documentation.

You can use the [fields](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/heartbeat/6.8/configuration-heartbeat-options.html#monitor-fields) option to do this. Something like:

```auto
- type: http
  url: "http://www.elastic.co"
  fields:
    myField: myValue
  fields_under_root: true
  schedule: '@every 10s'

```
