Какое значение имеет префикс @ в именах полей logstash?

Следующая конфигурация logstash используется для принятия журналов событий Windows как json через TCP-соединение, а затем после некоторой фильтрации перенаправляет результат в поиск Elastic (источник: https://gist.github.com/robinsmidsrod/4215337 ):

input {
    tcp {
        type => "syslog"
        host => "127.0.0.1"
        port => 3514

    tcp {
        type   => "eventlog"
        host   => "10.1.1.2"
        port   => 3515
        format => 'json'
    }
}

    grep {

    mutate {

    mutate {

        rename => [ "Hostname", "@source_host" ]

    mutate {

Какое значение имеет @префикс для некоторых имен полей в строках 58 и 68? т.е. @source_hostи @messageна этих mutateфильтрах:

mutate {
    # Set source to what the message says
    type   => "eventlog"
    rename => [ "Hostname", "@source_host" ]
}

а также

mutate {
    # Rename some fields into something more useful
    type   => "eventlog"
    rename => [ "Message", "@message" ]
    rename => [ "Severity", "eventlog_severity" ]
    rename => [ "SeverityValue", "eventlog_severity_code" ]
    rename => [ "Channel", "eventlog_channel" ]
    rename => [ "SourceName", "eventlog_program" ]
    rename => [ "SourceModuleName", "nxlog_input" ]
    rename => [ "Category", "eventlog_category" ]
    rename => [ "EventID", "eventlog_id" ]
    rename => [ "RecordNumber", "eventlog_record_number" ]
    rename => [ "ProcessID", "eventlog_pid" ]
}

Я считаю, что это было просто решение пространства имен, чтобы избежать столкновений.

Он был в основном очищен от более новых версий logstash. Остаются только @timestamp и @version. Вы должны обратить внимание на обновление logstash и ваших грузоотправителей.
