kibana2json
kibana2json
A simple helper to reformat JSON pasted from Kibana that uses the famous triple ticks ("""
) and thus has multi line scripts and broken search queries back to valid JSON.
This helps to run jq
or JSON formatting tools on the command line against those JSON files.
The tool checks for beginning and end of triple double quotes, escapes all double quotes within and also condenses everything down to one line (this might result in invalid painless scripts, but keeps valid JSON).
Installation
First, make sure you have crystal installed. See the crystal install docs.
Second, run crystal build --release src/kibana2json.cr
and use the kibana2json
binary created in the directory. Alternatively you can run shards build --production --release
Usage
kibana2json
reads from stdin only. The only options available are --version
and --help
.
I usually use it like this
# echo '{ "foo" : """what"ever""" }' | ./kibana2json | python -mjson.tool
or with JQ
echo '{ "foo" : """what"ever""" }' | ./kibana2json | jq ".foo"
Development
Most likely you found a bug in this pretty raw tool. In that case please write a failing test in spec/json_parser_spec.cr
, fix it and open a pull request. Alternatively open an issue with a sample snippet of JSON and I'll take a look at it when possible.
You can run the tests locally by running crystal spec
.
