You will need a [multiline codec](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/parsing-xml-log-file-with-logstash/167306/2) to consume pretty-printed JSON. You can then use a [ruby filter](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/solved-split-filter-question-a-k-a-flatten-json-sub-array/130481/12) to flatten the [data][malwareCountFilters] event.
