Events are merging like this:

I am expecting logs should break on timestamps like this:

2022-02-02T15:26:46.593150-05:00 mycompany: syslog initialised

2022-02-02T15:26:48.970328-05:00 mycompany: [Portal|SYSTEM|20001|*system] Portal is starting

2022-02-02T15:26:50.032387-05:00 mycompany: [Portal|SYSTEM|20002|*system] Portal is up and running

It would help to see the props.conf settings for that sourcetype, but these should get you started:

[mysourcetype]
LINE_BREAKER = ([\r\n]+)\d\d\d\d-\d\d\d\dT
EVENT_BREAKER = ([\r\n]+)\d\d\d\d-\d\d\d\dT
EVENT_BREAKER_ENABLE = true
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
TIME_PREFIX = ^
TIME_FORMAT = %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%6N%:z
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = 30
TRUNCATE = 10000
