Data Type Conversion for bytes

[warkolm (Mark Walkom)]

in Kibana and when computing the volumes in bytes that the dashboard automatically computes values to MBytes, Gytes, etc. as applicable.

Currently the only way to do that is to create a scripted field and divide by 1024^N. Or do the same thing via a ruby filter in LS before it hits ES.

I think KB 5 will allow you to set a field modifier so you can dynamically "convert" such things.
