You can use the JoltTransformJSON processor for this. Here is a Chain spec that should get you what you want:

[
  {
    "operation": "shift",
    "spec": {
      "0": {
        "*": "header"
      },
      "*": "data[]"
    }
  },
  {
    "operation": "shift",
    "spec": {
      "data": {
        "*": {
          "*": {
            "@0": "[&2].@(4,header[&])"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
]

The first operation splits the top array into "header" (containing the first element) and "data" (containing the rest). The second operation creates an array of objects, each object having the keys from the header associated with the values from each element in the "data" array. With your input above, I get the following output:

[ {
  "host" : "DUSTSADMIN.ads.xyz.de",
  "host_icons" : "menu",
  "host_state" : "UP",
  "num_services_crit" : "0",
  "num_services_ok" : "28",
  "num_services_pending" : "0",
  "num_services_unknown" : "0",
  "num_services_warn" : "0"
}, {
  "host" : "DUSTSVMDC01.ads.xyz.de",
  "host_icons" : "menu",
  "host_state" : "UP",
  "num_services_crit" : "0",
  "num_services_ok" : "34",
  "num_services_pending" : "0",
  "num_services_unknown" : "0",
  "num_services_warn" : "0"
}, {
  "host" : "DUSTSVMDC02.ads.xyz.de",
  "host_icons" : "menu",
  "host_state" : "UP",
  "num_services_crit" : "0",
  "num_services_ok" : "34",
  "num_services_pending" : "0",
  "num_services_unknown" : "0",
  "num_services_warn" : "0"
} ]
