Get only parsed JSON fields using spath

I have a below JSON

Recalibration Stats json : {"modelid" : "30013", "champion_gini" : 0.8274502273019728, "recalibResult" : "CASE I Champion Retained", "challenger_gini" : 0.8013221831674033, "recalibDate" : "2020-05-01"}

 

Now to get the JSON fields I have to explicitly mention field names using table/fields. My JSON can get different fields from source so I want to get only parsed fields from JSON by not explicitly mentioning their names. Using below query is giving me all the unwanted fields as well.

index = abx sourcetype = gmdevops_rome source="/axp/gnics/orchestra/dev/romedata/logs/model_run_qc.log" "Recalibration Stats json"
| rex field=_raw "Recalibration Stats json : (?<recalib_stats>.+)"
| spath input=recalib_stats
| table *

It'll be like:

index = abx sourcetype = gmdevops_rome source="/axp/gnics/orchestra/dev/romedata/logs/model_run_qc.log" "Recalibration Stats json"
| rex field=_raw "Recalibration Stats json : (?<recalib_stats>.+)"
| fields recalib_stats
| spath input=recalib_stats
| fields - recalib_stats, _raw, _time
| table *

Yes, removing _raw and _time as well. The important step is the selecting of recalib_stats field after the rex which removes the bulk of the other fields - the special fields beginning with an underscore have to be remove individually.

Not sure what the question is? Are you trying to remove the "unwanted" fields without mentioning which fields are wanted?

Yes, I want only parsed fields from JSON. If I use | table * then I want only those fields that are present in JSON. Unwanted fields are date_hour, _raw, _time , date_second etc.

Remove everything apart from recalib_stats after the rex, then remove recalib_stats after the spath

index = abx sourcetype = gmdevops_rome source="/axp/gnics/orchestra/dev/romedata/logs/model_run_qc.log" "Recalibration Stats json"
| rex field=_raw "Recalibration Stats json : (?<recalib_stats>.+)"
| fields recalib_stats
| spath input=recalib_stats
| fields - recalib_stats
| table *
