logstash exec command

[oweng]

I have have been tasked with adding some exec commands to our logstash config. The command uses awk, so if I try running something like:

command => "cat /proc/loadavg | awk '{print $2}'"

However, I am not sure how to add this to my role, as it takes the above and turns it into:

'command' => 'cat /proc/loadavg | awk '{print $2}''

Is there a way to turn the outside "'" to quotes?

Thank you for your help.
