Hi, I am unable to index the array in elasticsearch using logstash. I have tried the split option but no luck. Below is the format of data i have(i.e is coming from mongodb),
{"\_id"=\>BSON::ObjectId('5ab4f8fc36e9ca09d4cfcee2'), "manager\_upi"=\>"000018780", "supervisor\_id"=\>"000064862", "mailstop"=\>"MC 4-418", "supervisor\_name"=\>"Nagaraja Rao Harshadeep,surendar,raji,kamal,arjun,tamizh", "projcountryname"=\>["World", "World", "World", "World", "South Sudan"], "workoudesc"=\>"ENR GP GLOBAL (GENGE)", "lname"=\>"Guzman Hidalgo", "workou"=\>"GENGE", "projdesc"=\>[" GAFSP ", " GEO OPS ", " LLIIL Open Aid Partnership (OAP) "]}
Issue here is like i can able to index the key value kind of records but unable to index the projcountryname & projdesc fields.
planning to use the ruby filter in logstash, please help me on resolving this issue.
