Winlogbeat 7.13.0 expected int but got type string in equals condition

Sorry I've been meaning to post.

I've spent all weekend reindexing (GBs of data..) so I could do more tests after I delete the winlogbeat-*
(From what I gather that's the only way since you can't just change the field type on existing indices)

For starters you will have to change this for sure:

 - equals.winlog.event_id: 4634

to

- contains.winlog.event_id: "4634"

Since "winlog.event_id" is now a string

  • The contains condition checks if a value is part of a field. The field can be a string or an array of strings. The condition accepts only a string value.

I still have another cluster to upgrade, will make the change in the winlogbeat config first and see whether that's sufficient. I have a feeling it's not as after reindexing the field type is correct (text)

{
  "winlogbeat-7.13.0-2021.05.29" : {
    "mappings" : {
      "event.code" : {
        "full_name" : "event.code",
        "mapping" : {
          "code" : {
            "type" : "text",
            "fields" : {
              "keyword" : {
                "type" : "keyword",
                "ignore_above" : 256
              }
            }
          }
        }
      },
      "winlog.event_id" : {
        "full_name" : "winlog.event_id",
        "mapping" : {
          "event_id" : {
            "type" : "text",
            "fields" : {
              "keyword" : {
                "type" : "keyword",
                "ignore_above" : 256
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
