Hello,

I created the following dynamic template to apply a custom mapping on the "kubernetes" object and it's subobjects and fields:

It should match these:  
kubernetes.container.name  
kubernetes.pod.name  
kubernetes.pod.id  
kubernetes.namespace

```
    {
      "kubernetes_object": {
        "path_match": "kubernetes*",
        "mapping": {
          "dynamic": true
        }
      }
    }

```

The problem is, it also matches fields like

> kuberneteser.container.name

> kubernetesaaaaa.container.name

How can I match **kubernetes.** exactly? I tried various syntaxes but had no luck
