Hi  
Could anyone please help me with getting that below payload divided into attributes that i could then push to home assistant entity?

I got that payload from running ssh to my server:  
{"topic":"192.168.1.80","\_msgid":"9ae507a7.3fea68","payload":"\r-\r \r\r-\r \rStatus: Connected\nCurrent server: [pl141.nordvpn.com](http://pl141.nordvpn.com)\nCountry: Poland\nCity: Warsaw\nYour new IP: 5.253.206.91\nCurrent technology: NordLynx\nTransfer: 1.17 GiB received, 23.16 MiB sent\nUptime: 9 hours 31 minutes 28 seconds\n","rc":{"code":0}}  
It gives me status about NordVPN connection. I would like to have all these as attributes in one entity under HA.So lets say entity called sensor.nordvpn with below attributes:

- Status  
Current server  
Country  
City  
Your new IP  
Current technology  
Transfer received  
Transfer sent  
Uptime

Already have this:  
var lines = msg.payload.split("\n");  
lines[0] = lines[0].replace("\r-\r \r\r-\r \r","");  
var outp = ;  
outp[0] = {payload:lines[0]};  
outp[1] = {payload:lines[1]};  
outp[2] = {payload:lines[2]};  
outp[3] = {payload:lines[3]};  
outp[4] = {payload:lines[4]};  
outp[5] = {payload:lines[5]};  
outp[6] = {payload:lines[6]};  
outp[7] = {payload:lines[7]};  
return [outp];

That gives me 8 different payloads- so how do i get these payloads now to one enitity with attributes?
