How to configure Splunk to parse multiple logs as individual events, not a single event?

Hello –

New to Splunk. I’ve searched the community, but may not be using the correct wording to find an answer. See the example below of a log file I’m feeding into Splunk. Each event starts at the time stamp and ends after the “blah, blah”. When I search the log in Splunk, it’s showing multiple events together. How do I go about getting Splunk to see them as individual events?

Splunk distinguishes each event based on the LINE_BREAKER property set for that sourcetype in props.conf. props.conf should be on your indexer(s)
