Parsing ASA-5-304001: properly

I was getting some error messages about Splunk being unable to parse the timestamp. I tracked it down to %ASA-5-304001 because it contains multiple lines, and each line is treated as a separate line entry, and only the first line has the timestamp, therefore, no timestamp to parse.
Example of the event:

May 21 14:46:52 FWHOSTNAME : %ASA-5-304001: 192.168.20.59 Accessed URL 52.94.232.32:http://52.94.232.32/x/ae12848777b41970a5f2 HTTP/1.1
Host: s.amazon-adsystem.com

Do I need to create a new transforms.conf entry so this specific event code is line merged? I'm using the Splunk Add-On for Cisco ASA in Splunk Cloud.
