I have a sample JSON object containing multiple values for same metric_name which is CPU_usage. How to convert it in to multiple metric points whose metric name is same i.e CPU_usage.

samplejson: [ [-]
{ [-]
epochtime: 1573532862
value: 5.29
}
{ [-]
epochtime: 1573532562
value: 5.34
}

This is best done using jquery tool before it comes into Splunk. The king of jquery and splunk is @mmodestino_splunk so maybe he will also comment.
