Hello,

Found some informative posts already, but guess I misintepreted some info.

This is logstash logging:  
:response=\>{"index"=\>{"\_index"=\>"logstash-http-2023.08.14", "\_type"=\>"\_doc", "\_id"=\>"BobW8okBwOC2FKopPOGW", "status"=\>400, "error"=\>{"type"=\>"mapper\_parsing\_exception", "reason"=\>"object mapping for [http.content\_range] tried to parse field [content\_range] as object, but found a concrete value"}}}}

And indeed, most of the time http.content\_range is text but sometimes it is delivered as an object.  
So I created a filter which is not working so please help:

```auto
filter {
   if [event_type] =~ 'http' {
      if [http.content_range] {
         ruby { code => 'event.set("http.content_range", event.get("http.content_range").to_s)' }
      }
   }
}

```

Thanks!
