Hi  
I created conf file in logstash to receive cef input and then send this event by using output cef. I got the cef event successfully as input. however, I found that the output is sent to acrsight connector but only with the following data

0|Elasticsearch|Logstash|1.0|Logstash|Logstash|6|

Why the fields in the input event is not included??

Below is the conf file

**input**  
**{**  
**stdin{**  
**codec =\> cef**  
**}**  
**}**

**output**  
**{**  
**udp**  
**{**  
**host =\> ["x.x.x.x"]**  
**port =\> "516"**  
**codec =\> cef**  
**}**  
**}**

x.x.x.x is the arcsight connector listen on port 516 udp
