"message" field can be edited during logstash filtering, but admitting it's 
enough, I would love to remove "_all" field and point Kibana to "message". 
Oddly, I can't find the "_all" field, neither in Sense, nor in Kibana. I know 
it's enabled:

}

But it looks like I cant retrieve/display its content. Any idea?
