Receiving JSON files from Azure containing multiple events in each file. How do I break these into unique events?

[DJAXX03]

I am pulling in JSON files into Splunk from Microsoft Azure. Each JSON files contains multiple events and time stamps.

Below is an example of a JSON file that is being pulled in. When I look into Splunk, I get a single event with 3 different entries for each field extraction listed.

I would like to get 3 different events based on the eventTimestamp and data for each event.
Is there a way to do this on the Universal Forwarder or in props.conf?
If so, could someone provide some guidance.

Note: I have the sourcetype = _json in the inputs.conf on the universal forwarder pulling this information.

You can use spath command but I'd recommend the Splunk Technology Addon for Azure first if you're not already using it.
