While loading data from table in oracle to EL Search, date column in oracle is stored as string EL Search . how do I fix this.  
select.sql=SELECT \* FROM us\_wm\_space.planogram\_view\_log

```
   input {
      jdbc {
        jdbc_driver_library => "/home/app/oracle_jdbc/ojdbc6-11.2.0.3.0.jar"
        jdbc_driver_class => "Java::oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
        jdbc_connection_string => "jdbc:oracle:thin:@//88888888:1526/spusxprd_service"
        jdbc_user => " *********"
        jdbc_password => " ************"
        # will execute on the 0th minute of every hour every day
        # schedule => "0 * * * *"
        statement_filepath => "select.sql"
        #jdbc_paging_enabled => "true"
        #jdbc_page_size => "1"
      }

```

}

output {  
elasticsearch {  
protocol =\> http  
index =\>"planogramviews"  
document\_type =\> "planogramview"  
document\_id =\> "%{planogram\_id},%{store\_nbr},%{view\_ts}"

Perhaps you should use a date filter to parse the field into an ISO8601 that ES will recognize as a date? Or modify the query to format the column in a way that ES recognizes as a date?
