How to create fields based on multivalue field of keys, and multivalue field of values

denissotoacc

I have the following json event:

 

{
  "tags": 
  [
    {"key":"Name","value":"Damian"},
    {"key":"Age","value":34},
    {"key":"Country","value":"Argentina"},
    {"key":"City","value":"Buenos Aires"}
  ]
}

 


I need to extract the correspondent fields in my event, with the key and value:

Name="Damian"
Age="34"
Country="Argentina"
City="Buenos Aires"

This is what I tried:

 

| spath path=tags{}.key output=a_keys
| spath path=tags{}.value output=a_values
| eval {a_keys} = a_value

 

 

But the result of it is a multivalued field:

Name Age Country City = [ "Damian", "34", "Argentina", "Buenos Aires" ]

How can I create the correct fields?
