Hi there,  
i got a location field (lon, lat) like this:  
"(6.95779078709084,51.1122094336657)"

I dont know how to write the mutate filter in logstash for this string

Beforehand I had lon lat as single fields and using this:

```
mutate {
		add_field => ["[location]","%{lon}" ]
		add_field => ["[location]","%{lat}" ]
		}
		mutate {convert => {"[location]" => "float"}
		}

```

Thanks and Regards
