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:

```auto
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.
