Hello,  
Please advise is it possible to parse by filebeat json multiline logs with comma delimiters and send it to Elasticsearch?

Json files sctucture are the next:

{  
"time": "2017-02-28T12:04:25.7263914Z",  
"resourceId": "/SUBSCRIPTIONS/...../RESOURCEGROUPS/....",  
"operationName": "MICROSOFT.RESOURCES/SUBSCRIPTIONS/RESOURCEGROUPS/DELETE",  
"category": "Delete",  
"resultType": "Start",  
"resultSignature": "Started.",  
"durationMs": 0,  
"callerIpAddress": "....",  
"correlationId": "....",  
"identity": {"authorization":{"scope":"....}},  
"level": "Information",  
"location": "global"  
}  
,  
{  
"time": "2017-02-28T12:04:27.3201073Z",  
"resourceId": "/SUBSCRIPTIONS/.../RESOURCEGROUPS/...",  
"operationName": "MICROSOFT.RESOURCES/SUBSCRIPTIONS/RESOURCEGROUPS/DELETE",  
"category": "Delete",  
"resultType": "Accept",  
"resultSignature": "Accepted.Accepted",  
"durationMs": 1586,  
"callerIpAddress": "....",  
"correlationId": "....",  
"identity": {"authorization":{"..."}},  
"level": "Information",  
"location": "global",  
"properties": {"statusCode":"Accepted","serviceRequestId":null}  
}  
,  
ens so on.

filebeat generates an errors all the time:

2017-02-28T15:29:30Z ERR Error decoding JSON: unexpected EOF  
2017-02-28T15:29:30Z ERR Error decoding JSON: json: cannot unmarshal string into Go value of type map[string]interface {}  
2017-02-28T15:29:30Z ERR Error decoding JSON: invalid character ',' looking for beginning of value

The above is currently not possible in filebeat. That is why I recommended LS as here you could potentially do some more processing: [Use logstash or filebeat for sending azure JSON logs?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/use-logstash-or-filebeat-for-sending-azure-json-logs/74456/17)
