For advanced users, Graylog provides the ability to view and manually adjust the mapping of indices:

• Go to "System" > "Indices" in the Graylog web interface.
• Select the relevant index.
• Navigate to "Configuration" > "Configure index field types" to view or modify the field mappings.

However, manual adjustments should be approached with caution, as incorrect mappings can lead to further ingestion issues.
