Getting Data In

Can you help me configure props.conf to linebreak the following SQL statement?

Hello,

I have the following log lines (SQL statements) coming from one of the source files into my index:

#TRUNCATE TABLE "/BI0/0600000300"

Splunk puts it all into one event.
How would I configure the props.conf to tell Splunk to create separate events for each statement, which would be here a line beginning with # sign?

It's important that this is only for one file (source). The rest of the files should get recognized properly. Is there a way to set the event boundaries per file type ingested?

Kind Regards,
Kamil

Hello @ddrillic

Thank you for your answer.
In the meantime I realized that my logfile looks a bit different and the line breaker should be the empty line and not a hash sign, the line with the hash is actually the last one.

#TRUNCATE TABLE "TESTDATRNRPARTU"

So, like first all the parmeters of the SQL sttement and then the SQL itself followed by the hash.
For that I found the following line breaker pattern in one of the Splunk Answers:

[ISP_statements]
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
LINE_BREAKER = ((?:\r?\n){2,})

I am going to try it and let you know if it worked. I am bit dependant here on my Splunk admin, cannot do it myself so it an take a while.
Thank you for your support.
