Halloooo, I would like to ask you how to manage, with rubydebug in logstash, durations with format like 07:22:27.

I wrote a script..

```auto
         ruby {
        # code => "
        # s = event.get('Logon duration')
        # vals = s.match /(\d+):(\d+):(\d+)/
        # if vals then
        # seconds = vals[1].to_i*3600+vals[2].to_i*60+vals[3].to_i
        # event.set('Logon duration', seconds)
        # end
        # "
	    # }
}

```
