Semi structured json log parsing example

It would be nice to have an example to demonstrate how to parse semi-structured logs.

Let's consider the following log record:

  "message": [
    "I0104 15:47:24.388872   118 SyslogReporter.cpp:10] APP-METRIC {\"fields\":{\"drop\":0},\"measurement\":\"core.datafield\",\"tags\":{\"host\":\"blahblah-testing-9rtvp\",\"instance\":\"0\",\"source\":\"core.datafield\",\"type\":\"data\",\"worker\":\"0\"},\"time\":\"2024-01-04T15:47:24.000000000Z\"}"
],

We want to be able to parse this log message into a fully structured representation, typically into json. Let's create a test setup with a flow that solves this as a blog post or simply as an example in the docs: https://github.com/kube-logging/logging-operator/blob/4a926ef0ab1c780641cc84c6d3d124c50caea635/pkg/sdk/logging/model/filter/parser.go#L203

Ideally the example should represent both the fluentd and syslog-ng solution.
