hello all,

in my project, there is no meaning for time. only order of arrival.

i want to change @timestamp to be an integer starting from 100000 and goes on.  
is there a way to do it?

i tried using the date filter like this:

filter {  
date {  
match =\> ["orderOfArrival" ,"yyyyyy"]  
target =\> "@timestamp"  
}  
}

i parse orderOfArrival with grok and it is ok.

any suggestions?

thanks
