Use a grok or dissect filter to extract the timestamp, logger name, and JSON string into separate fields, then use a json filter to parse the field with the JSON string.

See [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/config-examples.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/config-examples.html) for a few example of filters.
