Hi Logstash community,

I have the following json coming from http\_poller. I want to split that into multiple json documents and feed into Elasticsearch. Pls suggest json filter or split. Thanks in advance

Input JSON

```auto
{
    "result": [
        {
			"fname": "A",
			"lname": "B"
         },
		 {
			"fname": "C",
			"lname": "D"
         },
		 {
			"fname": "E",
			"lname": "F"
         }
    ]
}

```

Expected Document1:

```auto
 {
			"fname": "A",
			"lname": "B"
         }

```

Expected Document2:

```auto
{
			"fname": "C",
			"lname": "D"
         }

```

Expected Document3:

```auto
{
			"fname": "E",
			"lname": "F"
         }

```

Hello @manramu22,

Welcome to the community!

You can consider using the [split filter plugin](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-split.html). The field being split can either be a string or an array.

In your Logstash pipeline, it would be something like:

```auto
filter {
   split {
     field => "result"
   }
}

```
