Hi there,

I am trying to index data which is coming from logstash and ingesting with my ingest-pipeline.

I am using index template to use some mapping fields.

One of them is response\_time.

When i check it from dev tools, it shows me as i expected which integer field. What is the problem? What did i miss ?

Thanks in advance.

However, kibana shows me it is a string field on discover page.

Your question is not clear to me. Can you rephrase?  
If you want, you can update the mapping to be a different field type

I am using index templates and mapping to make 'response\_time' integer.

When i checked my index mapping settings from dev tools like,

GET app\_myindex-2021.05.07/\_mapping

it seems as integer.

However when i checked indexed data as,

GET app\_myindex-2021.05.07-2021.05.07/\_doc/row\_id

And i do not understand why it is not created as integer according to my index template.

Index mapping and the actual data are acting different.

I am a bit lost.  
As far as I know, 95747224 is an integer and presented as one.
