Hi All,  
I'm new to ELK and have requirement to encode the client ip in apache server log using the digit & alpha mapping as below.  
Is it doable ?

ex. 198.0.0.1 \> BJI.A.A.B

| num | alpha |
| --- | --- |
| 0 | A |
| 1 | B |
| 2 | C |
| 3 | D |
| 4 | E |
| 5 | F |
| 6 | G |
| 7 | H |
| 8 | I |
| 9 | J |
