Records with a field count that does not match any known VPC Flow Log layout were silently indexed without parsed fields. Add a fail guard after the dissect branches so these records trigger the pipeline-level on_failure handler, setting event.kind to pipeline_error with a descriptive message. Custom ingest pipelines continue to run and can override the error for formats they handle. Closes elastic#18521

| Use a custom ingest pipeline to parse this format. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
fail used here instead of terminate because terminate hides the problem, fail surfaces it.
