Why is this event splitting into three single events

Hi,

Our raw events from mod_security logfile are split into three different events.
I've tried multiple settings in props.conf without success.
Current config is:

[modsec:audit]
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
TRUNCATE = 0
NO_BINARY_CHECK = true
#LINE_BREAKER = (\-{2,3}[a-zA-Z0-9]{8}\-{1,3}Z\-{2}([\r\n]+)\-{2,3}[a-zA-Z0-9]{8}\-{1,3}A\-{2})
LINE_BREAKER = ([\r\n]+)(\-{2,3}[a-zA-Z0-9]{8}\-{1,3}A\-{2})
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = 32
MAX_EVENTS = 1024
TIME_PREFIX = \[
TIME_FORMAT = %d/%b/%Y:%H:%M:%S %z
KV_MODE = none

Cheers,
Andy

problem solved. I put part of the the props.conf

[modsec:audit]
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
TRUNCATE = 99999
LINE_BREAKER = -{2,3}[a-zA-Z0-9]{8}-{1,3}Z-{2}([\r\n]+)-{2,3}[a-zA-Z0-9]{8}-{1,3}A-{2}
TIME_PREFIX = -{2,3}[a-zA-Z0-9]{8}-{1,3}A-{2}\n[
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = 26
TIME_FORMAT = %d/%b/%Y:%H:%M:%S %z
KV_MODE = none

directly on the heavyforwarders and keep the other part of the configuration in the TA on the indexers.
