Jq extract key of array based on value
Given this JSON:
{
"{c156e78e-a4ac-422b-bf86-afe12f548dfb}": {
"name": "after-gluster3.8",
"date": "2017-04-16 14:31:20",
"state": "poweron",
"current": false,
"parent": ""
}
,
"{d773d5b7-94d4-4f78-a943-f50e4eb68fe0}": {
"name": "after-sshd-fixes",
"date": "2017-04-16 16:58:32",
"state": "poweroff",
"current": true,
"parent": "{c156e78e-a4ac-422b-bf86-afe12f548dfb}"
}
}
I need to extract a key based on the name value i.e. I search "after-sshd-fixes"
and then want "{d773d5b7-94d4-4f78-a943-f50e4eb68fe0}"
as output.
using .[]
throws a key out of an array and I'm a bit overwhelmed by the rest of the jq manual to figure out how to put an array key in a temporary value, do a test and then output a specific array of keys: value
