Here is only one example from my JSON file \>\>
`{"host":"ABCDEFASD","groups":["ABVD","TEST"],"applications": ["NETWORK"],"itemid":143172,"name":"Operational status of interface Se0/1/0:17","clock":1604283792,"ns":926563322,"value":2}`
AND I want to change this json file to metrics format:
`metrics{host="ABCDEFASD", groups="ABVD",groups="TEST",applications="NETWORK",name="Operational status of interface Se0/1/0:17", "itemid":143172}`
Remove \> value, ns, clock
Separate \> ` "groups":[ABVD","TEST"] groups="ABVD",groups="TEST" metrics { } `
Can you help me with this? What should I follow with my config file? (Sorry I am a beginner to Logstash) I am connecting to SSH server with putty \>\> CentOS8 Linux Machine
