Provide mechanism to choose whether webhook messages events field may carry an array of events or just a single event

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Spectrum Scale is capable of sending webhooks to recipients. These hooks contain information about events and such. According to Scale’s documentation, this is the json payload of such hooks: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/spectrum-scale/5.1.5?topic=command-webhook-json-data

The json payload has a field called events which is an array of events - "events": [ {…}, {…}, {…} ] - so, basically one hook message may contain an array of various events.

Some tools such as Netcool are capable of receiving these hooks and automatically creating event tickets in service platforms. However, some of these tools, such as Netcool, can’t understand the json array of elements as the message arrives with the events array field indexed by the array number (example: events.0.cause=xxxx, events.0.code=xxx, events.1.cause=yyy, events.1.code=yyy), and therefore can’t parse the message.

This RFE requests the Scale webhook mechanism to have a way to configure itself to send only one event per hook message instead of an array of elements. So, instead of sending multiple events in a single message, Scale would send as many individual messages as there are events for. This would facilitate the integration and consumption of Scale webhooks by recipient monitoring software such as Netcool.
