Hi all.

I'm receiving messages following the pattern key=value. I'd like to set the 
value of two of the received keys on graylog standard fields, namely 
"message" and "timestamp" and discard the original fields completely.

I can use the "key=value" converter, then "copy" the original field's 
content and set the value on graylog fields, however the unnecessary fields 
(msg, and time) remain on the log. Using the cut option causes the field 
value to be set with the value "fullyCutByExtractor".

The question is: Why it's not possible to remove a field from the received 
message using extractors?  I believe having to drop fields is something 
usual.?! I've checked the docs (haven't tried yet), and it's possible to 
accomplish what I want using the pipelines feature. However it's in an 
experimental phase (with potential stability and performance issues) and it 
seems overkill for doing something so simple as dropping a field.

Thanks.
