Please write the LINE_BREAKER for these events, i know splunk will automatically do it for these events but these are not the only events I have. I cannot share share those events here. However every time stamp starts like this. If there is additional info to be written in props.conf. Please write

Thanks

You don't need line breaker if every line is starting with the timestamp. You just need to break the events before the timestamp.

[your stanza]
TIME_FORMAT = %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S,%3N
BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE_DATE = true
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false

hope this helps.

Hi @muizash

Did any of the suggested solutions work for you?

Like this:

LINE_BREAKER = ([\r\n]+)\d{4}\-\d{2}\-\d{2} \d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2},\d{3}
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false

Your linebreaker should look like this in your props.conf:

[your:sourcetype]
LINE_BREAKER = ([\r\n\f]+)
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false 
TIME_PREFIX = ^
TIME_FORMAT = %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S,%3N
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = 30

It's always a best practice to formally set both the LINE_BREAKER and SHOULD_LINEMERGE (according to the props.conf spec, you must set SHOULD_LINEMERGE when you set LINE_BREAKER).

HI @muizash,
did you already tried something like this in your props.conf?

[your_sourcetype]
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
TIME_PREFIX = ^
TIME_FORMAT = %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S,%3N

Ciao.
