Hi, is there a function that I can use in Graylog when a json key has a complex value, like a list of element? I mean, if I have a json like: {"DeviceProperties":{Name=OS, Value=MacOs}, {Name=BrowserType, Value=Chrome}} is there something that can be used to map all of that list values? For exa…

I think there is a JSON extractor, there is also parse_json() in the pipeline that you can follow with a set_fields() there were some other posts around here with people using them…

Hi, I used the json Extractor but the result, for list object is not a valid json [image] It seems to be the java HashMap.toString method output instead. With this output I cannot work with it as a json

[image] gianluca-valentini: {“DeviceProperties”:{Name=OS, Value=MacOs}, {Name=BrowserType, Value=Chrome}} This isn’t a valid json either… :stuck_out_tongue: It’s hard to work with text from a screen shot, use the </> forum tool and paste in actual text. What does the original message look …

If you find a solution in there - post it up for future searchers - otherwise continue to ask, we’ll figure it out together!

Hi @tmacgbay i solved creating my own function after remove double quote and using let json_tree = parse_json(to_string($message."message_unquote")); let jsonNode = to_map(json_tree); my function is named list_fieldKVMap where [image] for example: list_fieldKVMap(“DeviceProperties”, jsonNode…

Great! It would be interesting to have a write up on how to create your own function and put it in the “templates and rules exchange” section. :smiley:
