Hi,
I am using logstash http input plugin to get the logs from application team. In kibana i am getting "headers.content_length" field with numaric value. I did not get what is the exact meaning of "headers.content_length". Is it application message size in characters or it is size in bytes ? we have disabled ecs_compatibility in logstash output section.could you please guide me on this?

It's size in bytes. If you use ECS, again will be in bytes, just in another field: [http][request][body][bytes] .

[headers][content_length] / [http][request][body][bytes] - Request content length / Size in bytes of the request body. type: long

Check here and here.
