Hello,

I have a field named "Income Bracket" that has values like  
"$50,000 - $100,000",  
"$50,000 and under",  
"$100,000 - $500,000" etc.

I am trying to load the doc with this field and couple of others using logstash however unable to load due to the following error:

[2019-02-19T16:26:56,979][WARN][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch] Could not index event to Elasticsearch. {:status=\>400, :action=\>["index", {:\_id=\>nil, :\_index=\>"verbatims\_index", :\_type=\>"verbatim", :routing=\>nil}, #LogStash::Event:0x1538332c], :response=\>{"index"=\>{"\_index"=\>"verbatims\_index", "\_type"=\>"verbatim", "\_id"=\>"JCanB2kBoGbYmP3flOO5", "status"=\>400, "error"=\>{"type"=\>"mapper\_parsing\_exception", "reason"=\>"failed to parse field [Income Bracket] of type [integer\_range]", "caused\_by"=\>{"type"=\>"mapper\_parsing\_exception", "reason"=\>"error parsing field [Income Bracket], expected an object but got Income Bracket"}}}}}

Could anyone please help me out to resolve?

Config file looks like below:  
\</\>  
filter {  
mutate {  
convert =\> { "Income Bracket" =\> "string" }  
gsub =\> ["Income Bracket","$",""]  
}  
}

Also the json template I am using is as below:

"Income Bracket": {  
"type": "string",  
"index" : "not\_analyzed"  
},
