Hi guys,  
first , sorry for my bad english .  
I have problem with target in the input filter i tried to run the configuration and send a message, but il looks like that the "target" option of the jsoncodec isn't apply

This is the configuration :

```auto
input {
  tcp {
    port => 5045
    codec => json {
      target => "sicuraweb"
    }
  }
}

output {
  elasticsearch {
    hosts => ["https://xxxx:9200"] 
    index => "test-target-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
    user => "xxx"
    password => "xxxxxx"
    ssl => true
    cacert => "/etc/elasticsearch/certs/http_ca.crt"

  }
  stdout { codec => rubydebug }
}

```

I run logstash in debug mode

```auto
/usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash -f /home/xxx/50-test.conf --log.level debug

```

And send a simple message

```auto
echo '{"data": ["2025-03-18 11:00:00"], "message": ["Test evento"], "user": ["test"]}' | nc localhost 5045

```

But when i look for mapping of the index , i don't find sicuraweb

What am i doing wrong?

Tnx for your time and sorry again for my bad englis
