Hello, documentation shows JSON format as a: metadata fields, events field with additional data in it.

Format events for HTTP Event Collector - Splunk Documentation

 

My question is how important is to preserve this structure?  Can you remove "event" nesting?

That's how events looks in Splunk right now, I have to press on a "+" sign to see the actual message.

If I remove the "event" nesting I can see the main message without extra actions.

P.S. if this is of any importance, data is being transferred to Splunk via TCP, not HTTP.
