Thanks Badger. Unfortunately, it doesnt seem to do anything.  
I added the below, but it doesnt ingest anything.

```
filter {

json {
         source => "message" target => "someField" remove_field => ["message"]
     }
split {
        field => "someField"
      }

date {
        match => ["[someField][date]", "YYYY-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZZ" ]
     }
}

```
