Field value equal to 0 not recognized in a IF statetement

[nino]

Hello all,

i have this float field:

{
"field_value" => 0.0
}

And this if statement in a logstash pipeline:

if [field_value] == 0 {
   mutate{ 
       add_field => {"is_zero" => "yes"}
   }
}
else {
   mutate{ 
       add_field => {"is_zero" => "no"}
   }
}

"is_zero" is always "no" in spite of "field_value" is 0.0. Sure i am missing something but i can't guess it

As far as I know, 0 and 0.0 are not the same. (Float vs Int) What happens if you change the if statement to look for 0.0?

You are most likely not stupid, but rather got lost in the details. It happens to the best of us. Glad I could help.
