Hi there

I've been testing graylog for a few weeks now and I think I'm noticing a
few "gotchas" I've whacked myself with.

eg I saw an example extractor that created a "src_ip" field - that
mapped to an IP address. "Well", I thought, "that's no good - it's only
matches IPv4 addresses", so since then I've decided to use "src_ipv4"
instead as it's more explicit

But then I found some unrelated kibana documentation regarding
elasticsearch referring to "src_ip" - which started making me feel like
that change was a bad idea... Maybe "src_ip" is sort of the standard
field name for an IP address??

So are there any  standard field naming conventions that should be
abided by? Obviously elasticsearch is meant to be arbitrarily
extendable, but I'm concerned I'll try some plugin later and it won't
work because I've fiddled with fieldnames when I shouldn't have, etc
