I'm having a log as below:  
17:40:51.3788 Info {"message":"#ARKAD","level":"Information","timeStamp":"2019-01-21T17:40:51.3878224+05:30","fingerprint":"125722b8-f281-47a6-8bf6-742f3bb111f3","windowsIdentity":"DESKTOP-OP9H3M1\Raju","machineName":"DESKTOP-OP9H3M1","processName":"RRPA\_WellStar\_EPIC-2017\_Requester\_NewRelease\_AddressUpdate","processVersion":"1.0.6929.17846","fileName":"Test\_GetMappingLocationsOfFacility","jobId":"500e91b9-eb29-40da-b908-76d5e76e8103","robotName""}

I want to post this data to elastic search in Json format, but the timestamp(17:40:51.3788 Info) before the json object is not allowing to do the json conversion in filebeat.  
How can I delete the timestamp before the Json object?
