WorkFlow:

Beats (7.0) \> Logstash \> Elastic

Issue:

The process ID shown below in Elastic is not parsed correctly, we would like it to be without commas.

**event.ParentProcessId : 1,739,524,678,541**

Three different configs I have tested, in our logstash,

* * *

## filter { kv { source =\> "metadata" trim =\> """ include\_keys =\> ["ProcessId","ParentProcessId"] target =\> "kv" }

filter {

grok {

match =\> { "message" =\> %{DATA:ProcessId},%{DATA:ParentProcessId} }

}

## }

## filter { if [event][ParentProcessId] grok { match =\> { "message" =\> %{DATA:ParentProcessId} } } if [event][ProcessId] grok { match =\> { "message" =\> %{DATA:ProcessId} } } }

Any ideas, what am I missing here?
