Hello, 

This question has probably been asked and answered, but I just can't seem to find a best solution. 

So, in the results I want to table the Allow and Deny values. And the second result would be the | search Action=eks* only where the Effect is Allow. I have tried till now, but I cannot relate the Allow action, it lists all values. Thanks in Advance. 



{ "Action": [
"eks:*",
"ecs:*"
],
"Effect": "Allow"
 
},
{
"Action": [
"config:*",
"budgets:*"
],
"Effect": "Deny",
}
