Hi

I am newbie of fluentd , recently I use fluentd to gather nginx logs using in_tail. As first , I feel strange that why there is not time field within the nginx log record in ES . After digging it for quite a lot of time , I find that keep_time_key true must to be set to keep times field .

My questions are that: timestamp is so important, why the default vaule of keep_time_key would be false

Thank you !
