Hi,

I'm trying to change the log format of Elasticsearch and Kibana to [ECS format](https://github.com/elastic/ecs-logging)

The [Current Document](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/logging.html) guided using ESJsonLayout, which is different fro ECS format.

As far as I know ECS is the standard format for Elastic Observability, so in the future ECS Layout will be the default configuration of Elasticsearch and Kibana, i guess.

Could you get any timeframe?
