If you have split your events correctly so that the above string is 4 events, not just 1, then spath works just fine, as you can see with this:

 }::{

Is this 4 events or just 1?

Thanks for the answer Woodcock. I have different kinds of Json log files, few logs have just one event, few have 2 and followed by 3 and max of 4 I guess, and when I validate these logs getting the validation errors and I have to make visualizations from this JSON log data with different structured format. Is that possible?

Thanks,
Jai

You really haven't answered my question. As my Answer here shows, IF the events are properly linebroken, then spath works just fine. So use LINE_BREAKER=[\r\n]+\}(\s+){[\r\n]+ and break them good.

This is just one log file, I think it is only 1 event?
