We are using the http output plugin to store logs into a database. We would like to batch multiple changes from a file into 1 JSON request like so:

```auto
{
    docs: [
        {
            "event": "event"1
        },
        {
            "event": "event"
        }
   ]
}

```

I've searched the forum and I found that the aggregate filter would be useful for this, but I'm not sure how to use it for my use case.
