Hello every body,

I am parsing the wallix logs by using the kv plugin

```
kv{
	source => "syslog_message"
	value_split => "=\""
	field_split => "\"\s"
}

```

As results i get all the output as text as you can see bellow:

Not sure about altering logs , but know how to custom display in kibana.  
I know how to do in Kibana.

1. One way is by using Static lookup option in index pattern of fields and in lookup you can replace text to IP value you want.Same way for source and destination port.
2. Other way is to write a new scripted field which basically returns your Ip value instead of text value.

You will need to create the index + mapping before you ingest data, or use an index template, to make sure it's setting things correctly.
