Hi ,
I was trying to find a plugin which is able to read a kafka message which is of format [cloud event avro]([https://github.com/cloudevents/spec/blob/v1.0/avro-format.md](https://github.com/cloudevents/spec/blob/v1.0/avro-format.md)
eg :
`{"data_base64":"LFNSVl9Qb3N0T25lVHJhbnNhY3Rpb24=","id":"4f3f8f5e-78a3-4ec0-ac69-5d1005cea714","source":"Transaction_Post","specversion":"1.0","type":"com.prod.account.balance.update","datacontenttype":"application/avro","dataschema":"/balupdate","time":"2020-07-14T06:09:30.26444Z"}`
Here data\_base64 is of avro format and needs to be deserialized in logstash. If I send only the data inside data\_base64(i.e LFNSVl9Qb3N0T25lVHJhbnNhY3Rpb24=) it is working with [logstash avro Plugin](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-codecs-avro.html).
Is there any solution to use this avro plugin in filter or pass a field name to it ?
