Hello,  
In the logs I upload to Kibana have a "mytimestamp" field, supposedly of type Date but when I inject the logs and parsed it in json, my timestamp is converted to type string.  
Do you know how can I convert my timestamp field from String to Date thanks to Filebeat ?  
I must necessarily use Logstash ?

Thank you 🙂
