I am currently looking at a camel project to get some stats from it. The following json response is what I get from jolokia. So I have a couple of issues I have to resolve although the most important is... I would like to rename the key "org.apache.camel:context=com.mycompany.component,name="component.route",type=routes" so that it is equal to "name=component.route". Note that this is nested too.

## example response

{  
"request": {  
"mbean": "org.apache.camel:context=_,name=_,type=routes",  
"type": "read"  
},  
"value": {  
"org.apache.camel:context=com.mycompany.component,name="component.route",type=routes": {  
"StatisticsEnabled": true,  
"EndpointUri": "cxfrs://bean:rsServer",  
"CamelManagementName": "com.ycompany.componentCntxt",  
"ExchangesCompleted": 2,  
"LastProcessingTime": 2069,  
"ExchangesFailed": 0,  
...  
}  
}  
}

Hope someone can help with this.

Just to point you in the right direction, you need to use a ruby filter for this.
