[15:01:40] <Amir1>	 godog: hi, sorry to bother you. I have a weird problem. I made this dashboard https://logstash.wikimedia.org/app/dashboards#/view/43fcccd0-4df5-11ec-81e9-e1226573bad4 and I want the visualizer to sum over a field ("actual") but it doesn't let me saying it's not a number field. What can I do?
[15:02:31] <godog>	 Amir1: hi, I'll take a look
[15:02:47] <Amir1>	 Thanks. let me know if anything is not clear
[15:02:57] <Amir1>	 you can try on "Top shards" visualizer
[15:04:48] <godog>	 Amir1: it is true though "actual" is a text field so I doubt you'll be able to sum
[15:05:12] <Amir1>	 how can I fix that?
[15:05:40] <Amir1>	 if you look at the values in the query, they are number
[15:05:56] <Amir1>	 it can be that it's combined with another actual somewhere else in mediawiki?
[15:06:29] <Amir1>	 so I rename the field in the code to "actualTime" or whatever, would that fix the issue?
[15:08:27] <godog>	 Amir1: yeah that could be that another 'actual' field is logged as text
[15:09:37] <Amir1>	 okay, I try to change the name
[15:10:28] <godog>	 assuming in those logs mw already emits 'actual' as a number that is
[15:11:12] <godog>	 (answering to myself, yes it does)
[15:13:33] <godog>	 Amir1: I might have misspoke, I'm looking at the json source for the message and 'actual' is a number there, though within the _source object
[15:14:44] <godog>	 yeah definitely confusing
[15:14:57] <Amir1>	 oh, interesting
[15:16:07] <godog>	 but yeah I bet something else is also logging 'actual' but as text
[15:16:52] <godog>	 Amir1: likely changing the field name is the easiest/simplest fix, agreed
[15:17:20] <Amir1>	 okay, the patch is ready, do you like to review mw patches?
[15:17:59] <godog>	 sure, I can wave my hands and pretend I know what I'm doing
