Hi there, I set up ELK and then beats on Zeek server to send data to Elasticsearch. Everything is good except one: there are a lot of fields - 308 ![2021-09-18 21_19_24-ELK - VMware Workstation](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/9/199bafe2a425c22a2557b89f6a1de9fe0ff13166.png) And it creates an element of inconvenience for me to create a search. I think I've done something wrong, set it up wrong somewhere. There are even fields with the prefix "suricata". ![2021-09-18 21_33_26-ELK - VMware Workstation](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/d/0/d04f582318b613ef5805a53bd001c10f7b40547c.png) How did you send Zeek logs to the ELK? What is your configuration? What inputs do you need from me? ---

Hi, I think the problem is in the pipeline, maybe is missing from elastic, so the fields are not renamed, transformed, etc; this tutorial let you check all the steps for collecting the logs: > **[Collecting and analyzing Zeek data with Elastic Security](https://www.elastic.co/blog/collecting-and-analyzing-zeek-data-with-elastic-security)** > > Learn how to ingest and analyze Zeek network data with Elastic Security and Filebeat, including how to customize your configuration specific to your objective. ---

I did everything like in this guide. But It didn't help. ---

I believe all the suricata fields are showing because they're aliases of the ECS fields. I believe this has been fixed for future versions. ---

It's okay that there are a lot of fields? ---
