Description

@kxs-who

According to the documentation (https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-http.html#plugins-inputs-http-ecs_metadata), the following ECS metadata is populated by the http input plugin:

  • Host IP address
  • Complete HTTP headers
  • HTTP version
  • client user agent
  • host domain and port
  • HTTP method
  • Query path
  • Request content length
  • Request mime type

The following issue was logged because the host field was being overwritten: #61
We would like the http input plugin to have a way to prevent overwriting not just the host metadata but all metadata.
