Description
Changes the
event_dataformat from an array of single-key maps (which is extremely difficult to work with in OTTL) to a flat map , making fields directly accessible via OTTL.Before:
{ "event_data": { "data": [ {"ProcessId": "7924"}, {"Application": "app.exe"}, {"": "anonymous_value"} ] } }After:
{ "event_data": { "ProcessId": "7924", "Application": "app.exe", "Data1": "anonymous_value" } }<Data>elements become direct keys<Data>elements get numbered keys (Data1,Data2, etc.)body["event_data"]["ProcessId"]For Windows logs, any given log has either named elements or anonymous elements, which avoids typical key conflicts.
