processors:
- drop_event:
    when:
      equals:
        path: "/application/some-text"

processors:

    fields: ["http.response.body","http.request.body"]

Hi,

You cannot define two processors sections. The latest one is overriding the previous, so only the drop_fields processor is enabled. If you want more than one processor you need to group all of them under a single processors key:

processors:
- drop_event:
    when:
      equals:
        path: "/application/some-text"
- drop_fields:
    fields: ["http.response.body","http.request.body"]

Also, I'm curious why you would ask Packetbeat to include the request and response bodies using include_body_for and then drop the fields, but maybe your configuration is clipped and there is some condition for the drop_fields processor.
