Honestly, as much as I have heard of people using Elastic Kibana..
they are usually using it for things already in JSON. WHen I looked in
the past I either found someone wanting me to set up a 20 node cluster
to monitor logs or someone sayin they had but nothing in it. I was
going to say I didn't know but decided to look again and I found this
article https://devconnected.com/monitoring-linux-logs-with-kibana-and-rsyslog/

The section "b – Routing from rsyslog to Logstash" of the article
seems to cover a filter that needs to be added. You may have already
tried this.. but that is about all i can help with currently.
