Hello,

I'm having some issues with creating a proper logstash config that could parse an array of objects.

I have the example data source as example:

[  
{  
"id": 666,  
"time": 1561938911000,  
"view": {  
"current": {  
"name": "Alert1"  
}  
},  
"description": [  
{  
"asset": {  
"hostname": "machine10",  
"ip": "10.0.0.10",  
"class": "desktop",  
"login": [  
"admin",  
"john"  
]  
}  
}  
],  
"level": 0.147  
}  
]

I tried using codec =\> json and split {} but I still getting "incompatible json object". Any suggestion or what I could be trying here ?  
Thanks!
