Hi All,

Trying to configure a 'Log Threshold Alert' in Kibana but running into a problem when doing a conditional statement to a field

In the following image, I am trying to alert when message\_code.keyword equal XXXX.  
In my documents, this field is 4 digits long and usually contains a leading 0. For example some of the fields are:

- 0200
- 0210
- 0220
- 0230

When I try and set the comparison value to a value that has a leading 0, it strips the 0 out.  
EG:

- 0200 -\> 200
- 0210 -\> 210

Is this a bug or is it something that I am doing wrong?

That sounds like a bug. Mind creating an issue at [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new?template=Bug\_report.md](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new?template=Bug_report.md). Please include your kibana version and steps taken to create the alert
