Trying to parse my Json into a table

[dperry]

this is the format:

{
"epoch": "1485892851.94944",
"id": "3952418",
"name": "WMI Performance Adapter",
"new_attrs": "{\"DisplayName\":\"WMI Performance Adapter\",\"ServiceName\":\"wmiApSrv\",\"enabled\":\"Manual\",\"state\":\"Running\",\"User\":\"localSystem\"}",
"new_scan_id": "513186",
"node_environment_id": "2",
"node_id": "153",
"node_name": "servername",
"node_primary_node_group_id": "68",
"old_attrs": "{\"DisplayName\":\"WMI Performance Adapter\",\"ServiceName\":\"wmiApSrv\",\"enabled\":\"Manual\",\"state\":\"Stopped\",\"User\":\"localSystem\"}",
"old_scan_id": "513150",
"path": "{services,windows}",
"status": "modified",
"type": "services",
"updated_at": "2017-01-31 20:00:51.949442"
}

trying to use the spath

I believe this is what you are looking for:
I selected one field from new_attr and old_attr because it is the only one that differs. Otherwise you can't see what's happening.

 index=blah sourcetype=blah 
| spath input=new_attrs 
|rename state AS newState
|spath input=old_attrs
|rename state AS oldState
|table newState oldState

But you would simply rename the ones you wanted. ie rename state as newState, DisplayName AS newDisplay, ServiceName AS Fred

Thanks Producer! This is along the lines of what I was visioning.
