How to parse long numbers?

[rachelyang]

I have set up NUMBER type for item duration in the pattern of Logstash configuration as
%{NUMBER:Duration}
It can parse most of the numbers in the log files, like 9994568.872 , 20903.23, etc..
But it cannot parse the long numbers which contains letter 'E', like 1.1280996562E7
How shall I set the type of Duration? And I prefer to use number type. Do we have any replacement in Logstash?
Thanks,

Logstash is handling this field as a string by default. Have you tried converting the scientific notation field to a float using the mutate filter?
I believe that Elasticsearch is then able to automatically deal with scientific notation if it is sent in as not a string.

    filter {
      mutate {
        convert => {
          "duration" => "float"
        }
      }
    }
