Hi Folks,

Kindly help me to figure out dividing the below logs into each events.

Awaiting for a quick response . Kindly reply on the post.

I tried the below method but failed at writing the REGEX.

The lack of a timestamp is an issue - cause if you're reading all of these from a single JSON, you'll have Splunk thinking everything happened at once, at the point of ingest.

Anyway, you can break the JSON into events using BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE = \"Description\":\s+\"[\w\s]+\" in your sourcetype definition and by disabling INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS = json, but then by telling Splunk to ignore its normal parsing of JSON, you lose all of the extracted fields, and you'll need to use EXTRACT-blah in props to pull things out.

How exactly do you want it split? What within the JSON posted do you consider an event breaker?
