Hello,  
I'm pretty new to the elastic Stack and i would like to do something that i don t find anywhere.

I'm saving syslogs in elasticsearch through logstash and i would like to add a "sequence id" field to know in what order the logs came.

I tried using filters or metrics but nothing seems to be working.

Thank you for your help.
