It takes an existing field which contains JSON and # expands it into an actual data structure within the Logstash event. # # By default it will place the parsed JSON in the root (top level) of the Logstash event, but this # filter can be configured to place the JSON into any arbitrary event field, using the # `target` configuration. # # This plugin has a few fallback scenario when something bad happen during the parsing of the event. # If the JSON parsing fails on the data, the event will be untouched and it will be tagged with a # `_jsonparsefailure` then you can use conditionals to clean the data. You can configured this tag with then # `tag_on_failure` option. # # If the parsed data contains a `@timestamp` field, we will try to use it for the event's `@timestamp`, if the # parsing fails, the field will be renamed to `_@timestamp` and the event will be tagged with a # `_timestampparsefailure`. class LogStash::Filters::Json < LogStash::Filters::Base config_name "json" # The configuration for the JSON filter: # [source,ruby] # source => source_field # # For example, if you have JSON data in the `message` field: # [source,ruby] # filter { # json { # source => "message" # } # } # # The above would parse the json from the `message` field config :source, :validate => :string, :required => true # Define the target field for placing the parsed data.
