@jhmartin can you please share the json templates please. it will be a treat for us. Thank you very much for this.

Great, I'm searching it for a longtime

If you don't want to have the type fields in the documents that are output, you can also consider adding metadata which will be used for driving data to different outputs, and removing the 'type' fields. I have written a blog post that demonstrates this approach at https://alexmarquardt.com/2018/08/31/using-logstash-to-drive-filtered-data-from-a-single-source-into-multiple-output-destinations/.
