Need to break a log file into multiple events while indexing if there are no newline characters
sample log file data:
\xE1\xA\x01\x00RFD \x00\x00\x00\x1\x00\x00\x7\x00\x00\x00\x3\x11\x00\x00\x33MQSIR \x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x4\xB8\x00\x00\x01HTestINF/LI/Item/Tested \x00\x00\x6\x7CYSRINATH 00000153311234ABCD 2013-10-03-02.33.51.750348ANDHRA IND AP 12.123+ 12.123+ \xE2\xB\x02\x00RFO \x00\x00\x00\x2\x00\x00\x7\x00\x00\x00\x3\x12\x00\x00\x34MQSJR \x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x4\xB8\x00\x00\x02HTestINF/LI/Item/Tested \x00\x00\x6\x8CYSRINATH 00001483531234ABCD 2013-10-03-02.33.52.033155ANDHRA IND AP 12.123+ 12.123+

Highlighted text is the starting of second event in the log

You can try setting the line breaker in props.conf. This regex will look for whitespace at least 35 characters long, and then split the line. This will require a restart of Splunk.

[my_sourcetype]
LINE_BREAKER = (\s{35,})
