Hi @loneWolf666, happy new year! I hope it was a good one. Is there a reason why you would want to do this? You could filter the JSON message in Telegraf but it would be good to understand why.
Hi @Jay_Clifford
Can you help me see the problem of broken chain?
Hi @loneWolf666
I believe this is the issue Josh was trying to help you solve. So If I understand correctly the new issue being faced is the invalid character ‘N’. Can you provide a sample JSON payload coming from this topic? Normally this occurs when the JSON parser receives invalid json.

Hi，@Jay_Clifford
What is the reason for the abnormality of the broken chain，It bothered me for a long time，Increasing the refresh time does not take effect 
This might be an underlying issue with the Broker/client library as I have seen this error pop up on other projects before. Can you remind me:
- What version of Telegraf are you running?
- What MQTT broker and version are you running?
Hi ,@Jay_Clifford
How do array nested JSON structures match string fields？

I tried to parse the ‘name’ and ‘CmdLine’ string fields under the “processes” structure of the process. Both gjson and “syetem_processes_name” failed
