Hi Team,

Please help me to set logstash config from nested json input file.

My json file look like below:

[  
{  
"billing\_account\_id": "loma",  
"InvoiceMonth": "123456",  
"credits": [  
{  
"name": "abc",  
"amount": ,0.005  
"full\_name": null,  
"id": "abc",  
"type": "xyz"  
}  
],  
"resource\_name": null,  
"resource\_global\_name": null  
},  
{  
"billing\_account\_id": "jill",  
"cost": 0.0,  
"credits": ,  
"resource\_name": null,  
"resource\_global\_name": null  
},  
{  
"billing\_account\_id": "jack",  
"cost": 0.0,  
"service\_id": "jack123",  
"service\_description": "description",  
"sku\_id": "143342",  
"credits": ,  
"resource\_name": null,  
"resource\_global\_name": null  
}  
]

and my config looks like below:

input {  
file {  
path =\> "/etc/logstash/conf.d/test.json"  
start\_position =\> "beginning"  
sincedb\_path =\> "/dev/null"  
codec =\> multiline { pattern =\> "^Spalanzani" negate =\> true what =\> previous auto\_flush\_interval =\> 1 multiline\_tag =\> "" max\_lines =\> 1000025}  
}  
}

filter {  
json{ source =\> "message" }  
}

output { stdout { codec =\> rubydebug } }

while running I am getting error something like this : :exception=\>#\<LogStash::Json::ParserError: Unexpected end-of-input: expected close marker for Array (start marker at [Source: (byte)
