Hi,

When I use `http` input, Logstash adds the following fields to Elasticsearch:

- headers.http\_accept
- headers.content\_type
- headers.request\_path
- headers.http\_version
- headers.request\_method
- headers.http\_host:localhost
- headers.request\_uri
- headers.content\_length
- headers.http\_user\_agent

How can I remove all these fields starting with `headers.`?

Hi,

This filter should remove them all. I am using similar filter to remove beats input specific fields.

```
mutate {
    remove_field => ["headers"]
}
```
