I have data coming in, in following format via Logstash  
{ test =\> [  
[0] { "data"= "xyz"  
"field2"=\> "1234"  
}  
[1] { "data"= "xyz"  
"field2"=\> "1234"  
}  
[2] { "data"= "xyz"  
"field2"=\> "1234"  
}  
I want to split my fields, so each Logstash event is as follows:  
{ "data"= "xyz"  
"field2"=\> "1234"  
}  
{ "data"= "xyz"  
"field2"=\> "1234"  
}  
{ "data"= "xyz"  
"field2"=\> "1234"  
}

Whats the best way to extract data?
