        }
      }
    }
  }
}

```

The Kibana console is plugged in without problems

```auto
PUT tagsjons/_doc/2
{
  "title":"json object",
  "tags": [
{"group_name":"group name","tag_name":"is ok","tag_id":"mUV-wdjnVd6tp6n7Q","type":1},{"group_name":"group name 2","tag_name":"not ok","tag_id":"qZ2Sba5c5R0bDw","type":1},{"group_name":"three","tag_name":"C","tag_id":"shUza_u11JgjBEnzA","type":1},{"group_name":"ss","tag_name":"okkkk）","tag_id":"eQo4KvOMRtQ","type":1}
]
 }

```

But there is a problem if it is imported through logstsh  
`object mapping for [tags] tried to parse field [tags] as object, but found a concrete value`

The main part of the error report

```auto
...
 "tags"=>"[{\"group_name\":\"22\",\"tag_name\":\"eee\",\"type\":1},{\"group_name\":\"dsfsf\",\"tag_name\":\"sfsfsd\",\"type\":2}]", "dialout_rule_id"=>0, 
 ...
 , :response=>{"index"=>{"_index"=>"test-index", "_type"=>"_doc", "_id"=>"1018", "status"=>400, "error"=>{"type"=>"mapper_parsing_exception", "reason"=>"object mapping for [tags] tried to parse field [tags] as object, but found a concrete value"}}}}

```

It seems that this value is wrapped in double quotation marks, but at present, beginners can't find a good solution

logstash config like this

```auto

    jdbc_connection_string => "jdbc:mysql://192.168.0.2:3306/scrm_local?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8&useJDBCCompliantTimezoneShift=true&useLegacyDatetimeCode=false&serverTimezone=Asia/Shanghai&zeroDateTimeBehavior=convertToNull"
