@mjwolf did you try altering the subsets file to allow this? I'm pretty sure that's how we allow the complex nested re-use ie client.user.group. I think you just need to add entity to the user.target section https://github.com/elastic/ecs/blob/main/schemas/subsets/main.yml#L600 |
Using the subsets file, add entity under target, for the fieldsets which use this. For `host`, entity is not nested under target, as it doesn't have this field. This matches the requirments of the RFC.
