Help with line-breaking

Hi,

I have a feed where it appears that multiple events are being sent on the same line, and I need to break them out. Can someone help me out? The break looks like it should be after the Timestamp, these are all appearing on the same line.

What's that <13> all about? Is that actually in the data? If so, could this be as easy as breaking there with your LINE_BREAKER?

<13> looks like a syslog priority tag to me (encoding user.notice).

How is this data coming in to your forwarder?

Anyway, I guess you could indeed break on that <\d+>, or to make it a little safer for <...> stuff to occur elsewhere in the event, include part of the timestamp format as well.
