Trying to use jq to beautify output in terminal in real-time using telnet

I downloaded and installed jq on my mac and I executed a telnet code in the terminal to try and make the output readable

telnet 192.168.31.2 8085 | grep -A 1 -e 'LOG DEBUG : sending a POST request to https://analytics-ingestion.staging-public.tubi.io/analytics-ingestion/v2/single-event' -e 'received' | jq '.'

I basically see a line by line outline of the output:

"event":{"page_load":{"category_list_page":{},"load_time":257,"status":"SUCCESS"}}

I was expecting the format to be in nice json format - I looked everywhere but I can't seem to find how to append jq on telnet

    Could you post the output you’re seeing vs. the one you would want to see? Some example data would be helpful to understand your issue. – bfontaine Jul 02 '19 at 16:03
  • This is what I an seeing @bfontaine "event":{"page_load":{"category_list_page":{},"load_time":257,"status":"SUCCESS"}}, – Gerry Paneda Jul 03 '19 at 14:08
  • @bfontaine sorry I don't know how to post json format but basically a line by line outline of the output – Gerry Paneda Jul 03 '19 at 14:16
  • Thanks, I edited your question to add these details in it. I don’t get why it doesn’t work, I literally pipe multiline JSON in `jq` every day and it does pretty-print it. There’s no option to force the pretty-printing because it’s the default. Does a simple `echo '{"a": 1}' | jq .` shows pretty-printed JSON? – bfontaine Jul 03 '19 at 15:46
  • how does the output look like if you don't pipe the `jq` command? – Yaron Schwimmer Dec 10 '19 at 09:31
