In syslog-ng, how can I type-hint a json field as an integer for use in a sql destination?
I am trying to send a JSON-format source to a sql destination using syslog-ng. The source has some text fields, and some integer fields.
When I use the json-parser I'm able to individually address each key/value, but the json-parser converts all the fields to strings.
Because the sql destination doesn't allow for type hinting, how can I send a value from my json-parsed message as an integer?
I've tried using a rewrite like this, but it doesn't work:
rewrite r_dns {
set(
"flow_id",
value( "int64(${.json.flow_id})" )
);
};
Ideally I would like to do something like this, but the sql dest doesn't have such an option:
sql(
...
columns(flow_id BIGINT)
values(int64(${.json.flow_id}))
)
