@magnusbaeck, I found this earlier post of yours ([Help parsing nested JSON with dynamic top key](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/help-parsing-nested-json-with-dynamic-top-key/41069)) and tried to use this but somehow it is not working. This is the updated configuration

input {  
stdin {}  
}

filter {  
ruby {  
code =\> "  
event.to\_hash.clone.each\_value{|v|  
if v.is\_a? Hash  
v.each\_pair{|k,v|  
print event[k] = v  
}  
end  
}  
"  
}  
}  
output {  
stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }  
}
