Hi Zubair,

 

Try something like this:

[YOUR_SOURCETYPE]
SHOULD_LINEMERGE=true
LINE_BREAKER=(, )
TRUNCATE=9999999
BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE={
MUST_BREAK_AFTER=}
SEDCMD-cleanup-before=s/^\{ "User" : \[\s\{/{/g
SEDCMD-cleanup-after-2=s/\s\[\}/}/g

It's best if you can run that on a test instance first with some sample data to see how it works for you.

Anyone interested,

This solution worked just fine, however i ended up using the Addon builder instead since it was clean with less efforts.

There is an option in Addon builder called "event extraction settings" here i simply used the following settings $.User

This setting will break the events and also field/value pairs.

Cheers!

Do you need help how to configure the props.conf or where to configure it?
