Hello, i search to convert hexa value in decimal value for performing.

I have found a ruby code in disucss but it's seems to be fail.

I use it to upload logs :

```
 mutate {
  convert => { "hexa_value" => "integer" }
       }

 ruby {
  code => "event.set('hexa_value', event.get('hexa_value').hex)"
      }

```

The error message :

```
 [ERROR][logstash.filters.ruby] Ruby exception occurred: undefined method `hex' for 2:Fixnum

```

Thank you

Try `.to_s.hex` instead of `.hex`.

@magnusbaeck You are a god 🙂

For everyone who search to convert hexa value in decimal value this code is ok :

```
ruby {
  code => "event.set('your_hexa_value', event.get('your_hexa_value').to_s.hex)"
     }

```

In Output your hexa value become a decimal value !

Thank a lots
