Hi,
the right syntax is to use single quotes, but this is problematic with
curl because the json string itself is usually put in single quotes.
So your call looks like this:
curl -X POST -d '{some json}'
now you can't simply put another single quote in the json string like
-d '{some' json}' that would terminate the string at that point.
One way is to use unicode for that. You can do it like:
curl -X POST -d '{some \u0027 json}'
A complete call to create e.g. an collector input looks then like this:
curl -v -u admin:admin -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d
'{"backend": "filebeat","type": "file","name":
"file-input","properties": {"paths":
"[\u0027/var/log/*.log\u0027]","scan_frequency": "10s","encoding":
"plain","ignore_older": "0","document_type": "log","exclude_lines":
"[]","include_lines": "[]","tail_files": true},"forward_to":
"5846e531adca4c0315bc6e8b"}'
