Nested JSON field

Hi I'm trying to do a count within my JSON logs. It's about the following data. I want to do a count for the extension_attribute with the name xxx-enrolled base on the value. How can I parse through this data? stats count is what I'm after.

{
"computer": {
"extension_attributes": [
{
"id": 1,
"name": "xxx-enrolled",
"type": "String",
"value": "3"
},
{
"id": 7,
"name": "xxx-filevault",
"type": "String",
"value": "FileVault is On."
},
{
"id": 4,
"name": "xxx-initial-hostname",
"type": "String",
"value": "xxxx-2i3l"
},
{
"id": 5,
"name": "Host name",
"type": "String",
"value": "xxxx-2i3l"
},
{
"id": 2,
"name": "Last User",
"type": "String",
"value": ""
},
]
}
}

You can try using spath to parse it first. Then pull out the fields.

| rename computer.extension_attributes{}.name AS name
| stats count by name
