Hi there! I'm having a problem with some data I'm importing from dynatrace into elasticsearch. To make some dashboards I'd like to have certain data in separate fields, whereas dynatrace sends them all compacted in a single field. To make an example I have a field 'general' structured as follows: "general: number value1 value2 value3" What I'd like to do is to apply a template so as to have those values splitted into several fields like: field1: value1 field2: value2 field3: value3 Basically, it is the opposite of what is shown in the documentation ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/dynamic-templates.html#path-match-unmatch](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/dynamic-templates.html#path-match-unmatch)) where it creates a field 'full-name' from several separated fields. Is there a way to do that? Thank you in advance! ---
