Hi,

I am trying to output batched newline delimited JSON using the logstash http output.

Can the json\_batch format be used together with the json\_lines codec to achieve this?

A similar query was posted here, but nobody seemed to respond.

Thanks

it seems we're "that" close to have this NDJSON format in the logstash http output plugin
