WARN logstash.filter.split - Only String and Array Types are splittable.field:apps[app] is of type = NilClass

ERROR logstash.codecs.json -JSON parse error, original data now in a message field {:error=\>#\<Logstash::Json::ParserError: Unrecognized token 'This' : was expecting ('true' .'false', or 'null') at [Source : This is standby RM. The redirect url is: /ws/v1/custer/scheduler  
input{  
exec {  
type=\>"apps"  
command =\>" curl -s "  
interval =\>"5"  
codec=\>"plain"  
}  
}  
filter{  
if[type] =="apps"  
{  
split{  
field=\>"apps[app]"  
}  
}  
}
