Hey! I am using logstash with suricata and kibana. I changed the suricata gid numbers, which according to the docs, have no technical implications. However, it changed the way I see all of my alerts in Kibana. I'm going over the default files in etc/logstash/conf.d and I'm having a hard time figuring out where and how the gid number changing would ruin the parsing of my data. Does anyone have any experience with this?
