I have a folder, which contains multiple files. I have indexed the folder as continuous monitoring. I have used rex in my query to extract the fields. The rex would work only if i change event breaks to every line. But, the problem is when I index a folder as continuous monitoring the step where would I select event breaks to every line is automatically skipped. Is there any way to solve this issue? Can I add event breaks after indexing a file?
hi @harinivgr
try this
| rex max_match=0 "^(?<lines>.+)\n+"
| table lines
| mvexpand lines
hi @harinivgr
Please accept the answer if it significantly helped resolve your issue or let us know if there are any more issues
you can add event breaks and make your _raw look like separate events, can you please give a sample of your event and where you want to break those events?
could you add a sample of your events? This is possible both before and after indexing but we need to see your event sample

The above is sample data. I have 3 files inside a single folder. While adding this folder as continuous monitoring, splunk skipped setting event break step. But while adding as a single file, we can break the event as single line. So, we need to set event break to every line after adding folder.
