Hello! I'm trying to parse a file that contains multiple json. Each json is not delimited by a new line or comma separated.
e.g. {"version":"0",....}{"version":"0",...}{"version":"0",...}
parsing with the following codec does not work
codec =\> json\_lines {
delimiter =\> "^{"version":"
}
Any suggestion?
Thanks!

What input are you trying to use the codec on? You cannot use it on a file input or any other input that eats the newline from each line before sending it to the codec. This is explained in the [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-codecs-json_lines.html#_description_180).

Hello, the input is a file. I'm wondering how to manage multiple json with the same structure in the same file. json filter is enough?
Thanks

As the documentation says, use a json codec, not a json\_lines codec.
