I have python script with correct output in JSON format , but why 2 event with broken message?

[alexeysharkov]

Hello

I have python script just like this

#!/bin/python
import os
import json
import datetime

HOMEPATH = '/opt/monitor_dirs/SomeDir'

def path_to_dict(path, depth = 1, first = False):
    for base, dirs, files in os.walk(path):
        r = {'name': base, 'dirs': len(dirs), 'files': len(files)}
        if first:
            r['datetime'] = datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z")
        if depth > 0:
            r['subdirs'] = {}
            for subdir in dirs:
                r['subdirs'][subdir] = path_to_dict(os.path.join(path, subdir), depth - 1);
        return r


#print path_to_dict(HOMEPATH, 1)
result = path_to_dict(HOMEPATH, 1, True)
if result:
    print (json.dumps(result, sort_keys=True, indent=4))

And i have output 

# ./file_count.py
{
    "datetime": "2023-02-22T21:10:49",
    "dirs": 9,
    "files": 0,
    "name": "/opt/monitor_dirs/SomeDir",
    "subdirs": {
        "XXXX": {
            "dirs": 0,
            "files": 63,
            "name": "/opt/monitor_dirs/XXXX"
        }
    }
}

There is some problem in Index

I have 2 event instead just only one

1. {

2.  ""datetime": "2023-02-22T21:10:49",
"dirs": 9,
"files": 0, and so on, but there is no '{'

How i can get only one event with my JSON

Thanks Kamlesh!

props.conf was empty 😞

And now

[mymonitorinf]
CHARSET=UTF-8
INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS=json
KV_MODE=none
SHOULD_LINEMERGE=true
category=Structured
description=JavaScript Object Notation format. For more information, visit http://json.org/
disabled=false
pulldown_type=true

Everything OK now! Thanks

@alexeysharkov 

Can you please try updating the print statement in python code?

From:

print (json.dumps(result, sort_keys=True, indent=4))

To

print (json.loads(json.dumps(result, sort_keys=True, indent=4)))

if the solution doesn't work for you then please share the extraction configuration from props.conf.

Thanks
