Hi ,

Thanks in Advance

I am trying to onboard json file data to splunk .But i am not forwarding all the data from json file.

 

My json file format

{
"aaa": {
"modified_files": [
"a/D:\\\\splunk\\\\Repos\\\\/.git/HEAD",
"a/D:\\\\splunk\\\\Repos\\\\/.git/config",
"a/D:\\\\splunk\\\\Repos\\\\/.git/index",
"a/D:\\\\splunk\\\\Repos\\\\/.git/logs/HEAD"]

},

"bbb": {
"modified_files": [

"b/D:\\\\splunk\\\\Repos\\\\/.git/HEAD",
"b/D:\\\\splunk\\\\Repos\\\\/.git/config",
"b/D:\\\\splunk\\\\Repos\\\\/.git/index",
"b/D:\\\\splunk\\\\Repos\\\\/.git/logs/HEAD"


}
}

I am getting result as like this

{
"aaa": {
"modified_files": [
"a/D:\\\\splunk\\\\Repos\\\\/.git/HEAD",
"a/D:\\\\splunk\\\\Repos\\\\/.git/config",
"a/D:\\\\splunk\\\\Repos\\\\/.git/index",
"a/D:\\\\splunk\\\\Repos\\\\/.git/logs/HEAD"
