Hello i need some help translating this CURL request into a http filter syntax

curl -k -u username:password -X POST 'https://192.168.88.1/rest/tool/flood-ping' \--data '{"address":"192.168.88.223","count":"12","interval":"20ms"}' \ 
  -H "content-type: application/json"

This command WORKS as it returns this response:

[{".section":"0","avg-rtt":"1","max-rtt":"1","min-rtt":"1","received":"1","sent":"2"},{".section":"1","avg-rtt":"1","max-rtt":"1","min-rtt":"1","received":"12","sent":"12"}]%

Wich is the expected one.

As of now i have tried this configuration of the http filter plugin.

input {
    stdin {
        
    }
}
filter {
    http {
        url => "https://%{message}/rest/tool/flood-ping"
        user => "username"
        password => "password"
        headers => {
            "Content-Type" => "application/json"
        }
        verb => "POST"
        ssl_verification_mode => "none"
        query => {
            "address" => "192.168.88.223"
            "interval" => "20ms"
            "count" => "120"
        }
        target_body => "respt"
        
    }
}

output {
    
    stdout {
        
    }
}

But im getting this message:

[ERROR] 2022-08-31 21:26:17.884 [[main]>worker0] http - error during HTTP request {:url=>"https://192.168.88.1/rest/tool/flood-ping", :code=>400, :response=>"{\"detail\":\"missing values (5)\",\"error\":400,\"message\":\"Bad Request\"}"}
{
      "@version" => "1",
    "@timestamp" => 2022-09-01T01:26:15.342475Z,
         "event" => {
        "original" => "192.168.88.1"
    },
       "message" => "192.168.88.1",
          "host" => {
        "hostname" => "pragma"
    },
          "tags" => [
        [0] "_httprequestfailure"
    ]
}

Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.

You want to use "body" setting instead of "query". the "query" setting places the values in the query string (e.g. http://ip:port?key1=value1&key2=value2):

        body => {
            "address" => "192.168.88.223"
            "interval" => "20ms"
            "count" => "120"
        }
        body_format => json

This will create an HTTP request like so:

POST /rest/tool/flood-ping HTTP/1.1
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 60
Host: localhost:4444
User-Agent: Manticore 0.9.1
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
Authorization: Basic dXNlcm5hbWU6cGFzc3dvcmQ=

{"address":"192.168.88.223","count":"120","interval":"20ms"}
