How to parse RESULTS field from Qualys TA

The Qualys documentation for the TA states that there may be a problem with parsing the RESULTS field because some values are multi-line values. Since this is the only field that may contain a multi-line value, what would be the best way to parse the data?

From props.conf:

[qualys:hostDetection]
DATETIME_CONFIG = 
NO_BINARY_CHECK = true
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = true
category = Custom
disabled = false
KV_MODE = auto

KV_MODE = auto parses all the fields correctly, except when the RESULTS field has a multi-line value.

Thanks in advance!

Adding BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE = (HOSTVULN:|HOSTSUMMARY:) to props.conf resolved my issue.

Hi @jamesco ,

Hope you are doing well!

We are also trying to parse RESULTS field from Qualys TA, but event parsing having issue. I have updated props.conf as above. Could please help me on this? Did you updated any python script to parse events properly.

Thanks in advance.
