Hi. I have a question. I have a log with followings fileds: _User;Target;IP-Adress;PrivateCode_ _Name1;Server1;127.0.0.1;CD4523_ _Name2;Server21;127.0.0.2;CD4542_ _Name3;Server421;127.0.0.3;CD4556_ Filebeat reading the log and transmitted all Lines to Elastic. That work fine. But the problem was, the "PrivateCode" should not be transmitted for data protection reasons. Who can I solve this? perhaps with "exclude\_line"? Thank you very much. ---

Yup, `exclude_lines` could be an option: [Filebeat : how to exclude lines - #2 by Shaoranlaos](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/filebeat-how-to-exclude-lines/282306/2) ---
