Hi,  
My Rasberry Pi’s are sending some information via a Syslog server to Elastic (with the Elastic Agent/Filebeat). The event looks like this:  
"Dec 3 14:00:01 PiMirror piinfo: gpu\_temp=50.1| cpu\_temp=49.1| model=4"

I added a KeyValue processor to the default pipeline of the index template. It’s working fine and 3 fields are added the log. But the fields are created as String and of course the data is numeric.  
Anyone an idea for solving this?

Thanks,  
Herman
