Was able to extract the fields as Name/Values pairs; but only the first occurrence is extracted ie. API2 is not getting extracted
From the above ONLY API1 was extractable but not "NAME":"API2","CORRELATIONID":" VVVV ","URL":"API2.json, I was assuming the below would have shown 2 URLs, 2 Names, 2 Correlation ID

URL is calling 2 APIs and only one of them seems is extracted by the below syntax

This was used to extract the name/value pairs
[json_embedded]
REGEX = "(\w+)"."(\S+?)"
FORMAT = $1::$2

Appreciate any help

Use this for your transforms.conf entry

[json_embedded]
REGEX = "(\w+)"."(\S+?)"
FORMAT = $1::$2
REPEAT_MATCH = true
MV_ADD = true

Hey @Sanjay71, can you review your post and "XXX" out any sensitive fields? Answers is a public forum, so anyone can see this post by searching online. Specifically field 1 and 3 stood out.
