The concern we have with this PR is when users have ingest pipelines or logstash filters configured down the line, this might break what they have. For example in ingest pipeline, ctx[‘log.file.path’] needs to be changed to
ctx.log?.file?.path.This is an automatic backport of pull request #41099 done by Mergify.
