Logstash Date Filter Plugin: Field remains a string datatype

Hi Badger,

Thanks a lot; your answer worked for me!
On a side note, I noticed that the imported records had a 'tag' containing 'dateparsefailure'.
That was a result of a mismatch in the columns in the CSV-file and the columns I added in the config, my bad. So, for others experiencing similar issues: double check the columns.
