Hi everyone, I have a log file of the below pattern:
2018-05-24 [POST] 8.8.8.8 GET /api {
json: data
}
And it is not breaking properly.
the event is cut in the middle of the json data.
my props.conf is as follows:
[source::/path/to/log/dir/*]
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
NO_BINARY_CHECK = 1
LINE_BREAKER = (?:}) ([\r\n]+)
TRUNCATE = 0

Please help me understand this better...

Try using this

[source::/path/to/log/dir/*]
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
NO_BINARY_CHECK = 1
LINE_BREAKER = ([\r\n]+)(?=\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}\s\[)
TRUNCATE = 0
