    The Elastic stack (ELK) powered by Docker and Compose.

    Essentially I've got 2 sets of standard JSON files that I'm trying to ingest into a dockerized ELK stack. The first set was downloaded cloudflare logs, standard line separated JSON data, tried to use Filebeat to ingest and it kept prefixing the JSON data with some dumb ECS event data, basically exactly what this post describes if its easier to see in pics. All of the cloudflare data was nested within the event.original field and would not get mapped. But once I tried to use just logstash directly, it was fine and mapped correctly and no more event data.
