How do I remove fields from a message? I have an extractor for the message field. Through pipelines does not exit.

I do it with pipeline, here is my pipeline sample. please make sure to attach them with all\_stream or any specific stream which you use for logs

```
rule "Remove additional fields"

when

    is_not_null("foo")

then

    remove_field("facility");

     remove_field("msg");

end
```
