I am trying to push SNMP trap output field of logstash to elastic. It is pushing as "text" type. I understand that "string" type data will be pushed as "text". I want it to be as **"keyword" type** to do some analytics on the data. I tried to change the data type with dynamic\_template, but it is still coming as "text" type. Here is the link for reference: [[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.2/dynamic-templates.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.2/dynamic-templates.html)] And here is the Index file and output: ![index%20logstash](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/f/9f8fe2bd3b759e185cf36e60cea1d388385f18d5.png) ![index_result_logstash](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/e/e/eef348086c05bc17a7cfbb6efba9c914f3fdca34.png) I want **"IF-MIB::ifAdminStatus"** in "keyword" type. Please suggest some way to change the data type of field. ---
