This fluentd parser plugin serializes nested JSON objects in JSON log lines, basically it exactly does reverse of fluent-plugin-json-in-json.

For example, {"ref": {"foo": "bar"}}, the log record will be parsed into {:ref => "{\"foo\": \"bar\"}"}.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'fluent-plugin-serialize-nested-json'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install fluent-plugin-serialize-nested-json
