Hello,

I am ingesting the java logs and when I have `severe` exceptions I am also having the error.stack\_trace.text field populated however I cannot see any of the `error.stack_trace` nor the `error.stack_trace.text`fields being populated in the kibana filebeat field list neither in table view. I can only see it in the raw json format. Any idea why is this happening?
