Error description

  • v10 is formatting some of the analytics fields as strings though
the type is number. For example, the field-
time_to_serve_request is of type number( both in the index
pattern and in documentation). But APIC formatting this value as
string instead of number. So when it reaches the ELK stack, it
shows as string instead of type number.

In V10 when the logs are generating, most of the numeric fields
are formatted as string unlike V5.
Example (from APIM analytics):
V5: "time_to_serve_request": 10,
V10: "time_to_serve_request": "249",
