On dashboards some of my logs contain data in bytes, I’d like to convert it to gigabytes.
I don’t really want to store the converted value using a pipeline.
I just want to change the way the data is displayed in dashboards rather than having to add another field for each different way the data could be transformed, MB, GB, TB etc. I could end up with quite a few additional fields per message which are just used for converting numbers.
I would but I’ve already looked at the backlog and the number of things that haven’t been done in years of asking is huge. I need a solution that works now.
Where can I do math on a field? In a pipeline or extractor?
