While Logstash is quite flexible in the JSON messages received, the
canonical format it "expects" is the JSON Event v1 format. The timestamp
should be keyed by `@timestamp` and there should be a `@version` key
whose value is 1. All other keys are free.
There is no formal specification of this format. It is however described
here:
It's useful to respect this format as it allows a user to use a less
capable receiver. The new format is enabled only when `eventv1=1` is set
in plugin configuration.
