Packetbeat misconfigured default JSON setting

[CrispySteak]

Using Kibana 5.0 v4 on Linux x64 the following fields import as strings rather than numbers (which is more than rather inconvenient and intuitive):

source.stats.net_packets_total
source.stats.net_bytes_total
dest.stats.net_bytes_total
dest.stats.net_packets_total

Problem should be in the beats/packetbeat/etc/kibana/index-pattern/packetbeat.json

Thanks!

It looks like these fields are marked as keyword type in the index template so both the fields.yml and the dashboards will need to be updated.
