[2022-10-24T14:05:28,745][INFO][logstash.codecs.json][main][ad822dd49f9ebf6e60df0512fd95d9b1b9a4c4f27d620da03273beebbf7075b6] ECS compatibility is enabled but `target` option was not specified. This may cause fields to be set at the top-level of the event where they are likely to clash with the Elastic Common Schema. It is recommended to set the `target` option to avoid potential schema conflicts (if your data is ECS compliant or non-conflicting, feel free to ignore this message)

This is info message, something else is problem. However, you can temporally disable ecs\_compatibility in logstash.yml  
`pipeline.ecs_compatibility: disable`
