[Tasos]

I am trying to undesrtand what the option event_format_flags in  inputs.conf  file can be used for.[mscs_azure_event_hub://<name>]
event_format_flags = <integer> The bitwise flags that determines the format of output events

There seems to no longer be any mention of event_format_flags in the latest app upgrade documentation as of the release of v4.5.1.  So maybe this is no longer necessary in the updated app.

Anyone?  We are getting json formatted data that is garbeld now via the Microsoft-Cloud-Services app.

It was formatted correctly via the AAD app.

Now there is extra " " around the json and additional \" around each key.
