Currently, the documentation states:
Adds metadata about the Event Hub, including Event Hub name, consumer_group, processor_host, partition, offset, sequence, timestamp, and event_size.

It is easy to miss that metadata refers to the @metadata field in the events, and also, that this field is a special field that is not sent to the output; so, enabling decorate_events without further action does not change anything regarding what we will send from Logstash.

A clear example of this confussion can be found in #7 .

It would be good to modify the documentation to make more clear that to send these fields they must be copied from @metadata to fields in the event

It spent today some time on the same "issue"...
Would appreciate it too, if you could point out that this will be moved the the "invisible" @metadata field.
Many thanks!

+1 for adding this behavior to the documentation. I spent a significant amount of time trying to figure out why I don't see metadata field at the output.
