I want to convert some of the below individual json objects in the event into nested single json object like the second example

Current Format

{
    "ID": 1,
    "Timestamp": "2023-05-18T05:07:59.940594300Z",
    "FileVersion": "10.0.17134.1 (WinBuild.160101.0800)",
    "Company": "Microsoft Corporation",
    "TerminalSessionId": 0,
    "UtcTime": "2018-08-20 15:18:59.929",
    "Product": "Microsoft® Windows® Operating System",
}

Expected Format

{
    "ID": 1,
    "Timestamp": "2023-05-18T05:07:59.940594300Z",
    "EventData":{
        "FileVersion": "10.0.17134.1 (WinBuild.160101.0800)",
        "Company": "Microsoft Corporation",
        "TerminalSessionId": 0,
        "UtcTime": "2018-08-20 15:18:59.929",
        "Product": "Microsoft® Windows® Operating System",
    }

}


I have tried to playaround with json functions but unable to figure out how to achieve the above outcome.

Can someone please help ?

If you are on Splunk 8 or later, you can use json_object to compose a new object.

| eval json = json_object("ID", ID, "Timestamp", Timestamp, "EventData", json_object("FileVersion", FileVersion, "Company", Company, "TerminalSessionId", TerminalSessionId, "UtcTime", UtcTime, "Product", Product))

Apologies. I realised  my understanding of the data was incorrect.

I have put the requirement and current data format on this new post
