Elasticsearch ignores COMBINEDAPACHELOG and put bytes as text.  
Convert via mutation is not amending anything.  
Made mapping apache-\* and logstash-\* for bytes as "integer" (tried "long") - always put data as text.  
I have no idea how to fix it. (Many time googled - found old topics -\> all adviced to use mutate/convert - and it doesn'twork for me).  
Could you please show me right direction...

Nevermind, cause was "index pattern" in Kibana, i had to recreate it - to show normal type. Now it is ok.
