I am using filebeat to ship the logs directly to elastic search and then visualizing it in Kibana.

I want to parse the message field to fetch the response code(200 as per the below screenshot) as a separate field in Kibana. How can we do that in Filebeat.

You can use the dissect processor, [Dissect strings | Filebeat Reference [7.13] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/dissect.html) or grok in logstash/elasticsearch.

As it looks like an Apache log, you can also try to use the [Apache Module](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-module-apache.html#filebeat-module-apache) in filebeat to parse your message.
