Hi All

{"log":"abc","system":"ABC","country":"India","ids":["111222","22233344"]}

logtag= event.get('system') --\> value getting as ABC  
itemIds = event.get('ids') --\> Not getting

How can we take a String array value?

If the [ids] field exists then event.get('ids') will return it. What does your configuration look like. What makes you think event.get is not returning anything?
