Hello - can you spot any problem with this processor. when i `.\winlogbeat.exe test config` i get a good `Config OK` as expected, however when events that i feel should match the processor occur, the field is not being added.

Please note NONE of these 4 add fields seem to work. I have other processors above and beneath this code that works fine..

```
    - add_fields:
        when.equals.winlog.event_id: "6005"
        fields:
          winlog.event_data.Info: "Machine starting"
        target: ""
    - add_fields:
        when.equals.winlog.event_id: "6006"
        fields:
          winlog.event_data.Info: "Machine stopping"
        target: ""
    - add_fields:
        when:
          and:
            - equals.winlog.event_id: "1074"
            - equals.winlog.event_data.param5: "restart"
        fields:
          winlog.event_data.Info: "Machine will restart"
        target: ""
    - add_fields:
        when:
          and:
            - equals.winlog.event_id: "1074"
            - equals.winlog.event_data.param5: "power off"
        fields:
          winlog.event_data.Info: "Machine will shutdown"
        target: ""
```

Fixed, i changed strings to the correct data type and it worked, eg `"6005"` should be `6005`, namely a number not a string.
