Getting Data In

Why do I have several JSON events showing as a single Splunk event?

I have 1-40 (or more) JSON objects that are seen as one event within Splunk. Each JSON object ends w/ the "}" character and is a valid JSON object. For whatever reason, there are just several JSON objects per one Splunk event.

How do i split this so it's one JSON entry per Splunk event?

Hi ,
There are multiple ways you can split the JSON events, you can try adding sedcmd to props.conf somnething like this.
[myJSON]
SEDCMD-remove_header = s/^(?:.\n){1,3}//g
SEDCMD-remove_footer = s/][\r\n]\s
}.$//g
LINE_BREAKER = }(\s
,[\r\n]\s*){`

else you can update a responsehandler which is a python class and use it in your inputs.
