Manual Steps After Updating the PLOSSYS 5 Server to PLOSSYS 5.3.3¶

With PLOSSYS 5.3.3, audit messages have been introduced. For this, the filebeat.yml configuration file had to be changed. So, if you update SEAL Elastic Stack in the context of a PLOSSYS 5 update to version 5.3.3, you have to do some manual changes in the Filebeat configuration file.

On the PLOSSYS 5 server, open the Filebeat configuration file:
```
/opt/seal/etc/filebeat.yml
```

Add the following entry below the processors section:

- add_fields:
    when:
      has_fields:
        - metadata.audit
    target: ""
    fields:
      indextype: audit
- rename:
    when:
      has_fields:
        - metadata.audit
    fields:
      - from: metadata.audit
        to: audit
      - from: application
        to: audit.application
    ignore_missing: true
- copy_fields:
    when:
      has_fields:
        - audit
    fields:
      - from: timestamp
        to: audit.timestamp
    ignore_missing: true
- drop_fields:
    when:
      has_fields:
        - audit
    fields: ["sourcefile", "hostname", "message", "application", "module", "level", "metadata", "agent", "host", "ecs", "processId"]
    ignore_missing: true
