I have logstash configuration. I want to take data from one event manipulate the data and create multiple events and push that events to elasticsearch.  
e.g.  
{  
"activity" : "meeting",  
"clientName" : "ABC/XYZ/LMN"  
"Duration" : 60  
}

above example shows my original event message.  
But I want to divide that message into three json objects (events) like below:  
{  
"activity" : "meeting",  
"clientName" : "ABC"  
"Duration" : 20  
},  
{  
"activity" : "meeting",  
"clientName" : "XYZ"  
"Duration" : 20  
},  
{  
"activity" : "meeting",  
"clientName" : "LMN"  
"Duration" : 20  
}

A decent solution would be the [split filter](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/5.6/plugins-filters-split.html) along with some custom Ruby code most likely, especially if you want to do field manipulation like your _duration_ example.

Example:

```auto
filter {
    ruby {
        code => "
            event.set('clientName', event.get('clientName').split('/'))
            event.set('Duration', event.get('Duration').to_i / event.get('clientName').length)
        "
    }
    split {
        field => "clientName"
    }
}
```
