Hi,

I have logs with multi line events and I am trying to line break before the timestamp, but before date there is -}",. Can you help me write the props.conf so the line breaks before the date?

use this attribute in props.conf

BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE = -}
* When set, Splunk creates a new event only if it encounters a new line that
matches the regular expression.
* Defaults to empty.
