Hey Folks, i have a silly Q, I am using GeoIP with maxminddbs and it adds a json array like it should. When it gets into Splunk, the only way to search elements in the array requires an | spath command and cant search like a normal key=value. is it recommended to do a json extract after the GeoIP function? if not, how should I pull those fields?

i'd use flatten, and filter out the unwanted entries (other languages etc)
