Getting Data In

Can I forward JSON data to a METRIC index? With Splunk 8

Hi

I was reading this doc
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.0/Metrics/GetMetricsInOther
at the end it says JSON data can now be brought into the Metrics index.

Can this be from a forwarder?

inputs.conf
[monitor:///net/mx12405vm/data/apps/qa10175_TPK0001304_34299998/logs.../.log]
disabled = false
host = TEST_AMBER_1234
index = amber_live_m
sourcetype = AMBER_METRIC_M
crcSalt =
whitelist = \w
-\w*-\w*-\w*-\w*metrics.log$
blacklist=logs
|fixing_|tps-archives

Props.conf
[AMBER_METRIC_M]
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
TIME_FORMAT = %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%3N
TIME_PREFIX = \"ts\":\"
INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS = JSON
category = Metrics
