I am trying to break the below json data into each event

{"audit_logs": [{"url": "https://Company.udesk.com/api/v2/audit_logs/3650750.json", "id": 3650750, "actor_id": 27401, "source_id": 36012509503, "source_type": "view", "source_label": "View: Copy of ALL CX BC", "action": "create", "change_description": "", "ip_address": "116.10.16.1", "created_at": "2019-12-13T06:04:32Z", "user": "VASU JOGI"}, {"url": "https://Company.udesk.com/api/v2/audit_logs/365073140614.json", "id": 365073140614, "actor_id": 28319638, "source_id": 3600001411, "source_type": "account_setting", "source_label": "Account Assumption", "action": "update", "change_description": "Changed", "ip_address": "160.12.15.26", "created_at": "2019-12-12T22:18:14Z", "user": "Sejal Jack"}]}

from the above log event 1 should be as below and rest of the message should be another event.
{"url": "https://Company.udesk.com/api/v2/audit_logs/3650750.json", "id": 3650750, "actor_id": 27401, "source_id": 36012509503, "source_type": "view", "source_label": "View: Copy of ALL CX BC", "action": "create", "change_description": "", "ip_address": "116.10.16.1", "created_at": "2019-12-13T06:04:32Z", "user": "VASU JOGI"},

Below is my Props.conf which is deployed on UF. Please help to get it working

[_json]
LINE_BREAKER = (,*\s+){"url"
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
