Getting Data In

Trouble parsing JSON coming via REST

Hi!

I have a JSON that looks like this (the repeting elements have been removed):

  {  
       "data":{  
          "viewer":{  
             "homes":[  
                {  
                   "currentSubscription":{  
                      "status":"running",
                      "priceInfo":{  
                         "range":{  
                            "nodes":[  
                               {  
                                  "total":0.5375,
                                  "energy":0.43,
                                  "tax":0.1075,
                                  "startsAt":"2018-02-28T09:00:00+01:00",
                                  "currency":"NOK"
                               },
                               {  
                                  "total":0.5371,
                                  "energy":0.4297,
                                  "tax":0.1074,
                                  "startsAt":"2018-02-28T10:00:00+01:00",
                                  "currency":"NOK"
                               },
                               {  
                                  "total":0.526,
                                  "energy":0.4208,
                                  "tax":0.1052,
                                  "startsAt":"2018-02-28T11:00:00+01:00",
                                  "currency":"NOK"
                               }
                            ]
                         }
                      }
                   }
                }
             ]
          }
       }
    }

I'm really having problems getting this JSON parsed when the data comes into SPLUNK via REST.

I'm pulling the data once every day, so I want the "startsAt" to be the time for which I want to be the _time field. I want to have this done as a sourcetype.

In general, the data I want out of this JSON is like this:

            _time                   total   energy  tax currency
event   2018-02-28T09:00:00+01:00   0.5375  0.43    0.1075  NOK
event   2018-02-28T10:00:00+01:00   0.5371  0.4297  0.1074  NOK
event   2018-02-28T11:00:00+01:00   0.526   0.4208  0.1052  NOK

@chrzz, following is a run anywhere search based on the sample data provided:

Thanks! But, this is only after the data have been indexed. I want this to be done at index-time in a sourcetype. How can I write the correct way to get the data into splunk the correct way?
