Getting Data In

multiple events and multiple key-value pairs (one being timestamp) in one json

Hi

I have series of two key-value pairs (timestamp and some other key) on one json file, which looks like below:

{"k":"host|something","rd":[{"n":1347028874805368,"v":1},{"n":1347028874910007,"v":5},{"n":1347028874912282,"v":5},{"n":1347039314560733,"v":1},{"n":1347039314665657,"v":5},
... {"n":1347443694173854,"v":5}]}

My question is how to make "n" value work as timestamp and v value as value of "v". I am guessing it has something to do with transform.conf though...

Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Thank you. Works like a charm. Is there any way I can do the event breaking at indexing time by the way?
