Hey all,

I've got LogStash working nicely with the NetFlow codec[http://logstash.net/docs/1.2.1/codecs/netflow](http://logstash.net/docs/1.2.1/codecs/netflow)but I'm running into problems trying to graph the results in Kibana 3.

When I create a Histogram Panel and try to graph the "netflow.in\_bytes"  
field I get the following error:

ClassCastException[org.elasticsearch.index.fielddata.plain.PagedBytesIndexFieldData  
cannot be cast to org.elasticsearch.index.fielddata.IndexNumericFieldData]

It seems that ElasticSearch isn't recognizing the PagedBytesIndexFieldData  
type as being numeric. Is this intended? If so, is there something I  
should be doing differently to be able to graph this data in Kibana 3?

Thanks,  
Ryan
