Hi Support,

I have below configuration for index.

> PUT dottest  
> {  
> "settings":{  
> "index" : {  
> "number\_of\_shards" : 1,  
> "number\_of\_replicas" : 0  
> },  
> "analysis": {  
> "analyzer": {  
> "splchar\_analyzer": {  
> "tokenizer": "standard",  
> "char\_filter": [  
> "spl\_char\_filter"  
> ],  
> "filter": [  
> "lowercase"  
> ]  
> }  
> },  
> "char\_filter": {  
> "spl\_char\_filter": {  
> "type": "pattern\_replace",  
> "pattern": "\.",  
> "replacement": " "

> },  
> "mappings": {

Its works while check by using below request.

> POST dottest/\_analyze  
> {  
> "analyzer": "splchar\_analyzer",  
> "text": """This is something 152045.525"""  
> }

I got below token, which is fine for me.

While document insert via logstash script, it not spiting dot with space.  
Here is live index document example:

Highlighted text not spited.

Is there any issue in mapping or in logstash?  
Can anyone help me on this issue?

Thanks
