Hi,
In the logstash output plugin, i would like to get the complete event data. Could you please advice on how we can achieve that,. Once the event is received, I would like to wrap it around another json object. This will be done in http output plugin to support kafka-rest format payload.
want to achieve something like this.
{
"records": [ {
"value" : {event data}
]
}
Thanks,
Rajesh

If you want to send it as JSON then [this](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-set-http-filter-body-to-whole-event/243041/2) might help, if you want a string then change that to use event.to\_hash.to\_s
