Hello, I am receiving CPU percentages from some devices and they are reporting their utilization as 32.0 for 32% or 5 for 5% but when I change the field format to percentage it changes to 3,200% or 500%. I've been searching around and looking through the numeral.js documentation and I don't see a way to do this in Kibana.
Am I stuck with a ruby filter in logstash to divide it?
Thanks!

Hi Kevin, what visualization chart are you using?
