NO_BINARY_CHECK=1
SHOULD_LINEMERGE=true
BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE_DATE =false
BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE=^6 Jun

[source::.........]
SHOULD_LINEMERGE=true

I would suggest

[source::yoursourcepathhere]
NO_BINARY_CHECK=1
SHOULD_LINEMERGE=true
BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE_DATE = true
MAX_EVENTS = 10000
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = 20

You might also want to check here in the manuals

Configure Timestamp Recognition

Configure Event Linebreaking

Note that bad line-breaking is often related to bad timestamps.
