Have Logstash take a file containing an array of JSON objects

Elastic Stack Logstash
2

All right so I managed to figure it out with Ruby, but was hoping Logstash would do more of it out of the box. For anyone else who tries to do the same thing, here's my configuration:

input {
  file {
    codec => multiline {
      pattern => "\]"
      negate => true
      what => next
    }
    path => "path/to/json"
    start_position => "beginning"
    sincedb_path => "dev/null"
  }
}

filter {
  ruby {
    init => "require 'json'"
    code => "real_arr = JSON.parse(event.get('message'))
             event.set('split', real_arr)
    "
  }

  split {
    field => "split"
  }

  ruby {
    code => "split = event.get('split')
             split.each do |k, val|
              event.set(k, val)
             end
    "
  }
}
