Hello Everyone,  
I am currently trying to parse a message that contains multiple JSON entries with filebeat input Azure Blob Storage. I have tried using decode\_json\_fields, multiline but it seems like "multiline" only works for logs or filestream. The decode\_json\_fields is also not working.

An example of what I am working with below:

Example:

```auto
{"fruit": "Apple", "size": "Large", "color": "Red"}
{"fruit": "Apple", "size": "Large", "color": "Red"}
{"fruit": "Apple", "size": "Large", "color": "Red"}

```

Within the server the actual data inside the message looks like this:

```auto
"message":{\"fruit\":\"Apple\",\"size\":\"Large\",\"color\":\"Red\"}\n{\"fruit\":\"Apple\",\"size\":\"Large\",\"color\":\"Red\"}\n{\"fruit\":\"Apple\",\"size\":\"Large\",\"color\":\"Red\"}\n

```

What I would like to get is:

1. For the data to come in the follwoing format below within the message and for each entrie to be a seperate message:

```auto
  {
      "fruit": "Apple",
      "size": "Large",
      "color": "Red"
  }

```

Does azure blob storage have any limitation for parsing the JSON messages within or what I am looking for?
