Hi there,

if i have data like this [{...},{...},{...}] how can i split them into different documents like

document 1 =\> {...}  
document 2 =\> {...}  
document 3 =\> {...}

so in that way, I can use the json filter to spread out the data inside { } like this:

```auto
json {
   source => "message"
 }

```

Thanks

Hello @yuswanul,

You can use 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 => "message"
   }
}

```
