What I ended up with now is:

```
  if [@metadata][beat] == "filebeat" {
    ruby {
      code => "event.set('logstash_processed_at', Time.now());"
    }
  }

```

Found it here: [Add current timestamp to a logstash\_processed\_at field](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/add-current-timestamp-to-a-logstash-processed-at-field/109745/3?u=george_sovetov)
