Getting Data In

How to edit my props.conf to properly group multiple lines in one event instead of line breaking after a fixed set of lines?

I want my logs to be indexed as follows:

EVENT-1 THIS IS SOME LINE
New line 1
New line 2
New line 3
New line ..
New line ..
New line 21

EVENT-2 THIS IS SOME LINE
New line 1
New line 2
New line 3
New line ..
New line ..
New line 21

But they get Indexed like:
EVENT-1 THIS IS SOME LINE
New line 1
New line 2
New line 3

EVENT-2
New line ..
New line ..
New line 21

EVENT-3 THIS IS SOME LINE
New line 1
New line 2
New line 3

EVENT-4
New line ..
New line ..
New line 21

Basically its giving a LINE BREAK after a fixed set of lines instead of what I have configured in props.conf.
How can I increase the number of lines/events that can be grouped together in one event ?

I used the following props.conf

[punchout]
   SHOULD_LINEMERGE = true
   LINE_BREAKER = ([\r\n]+)\[\w+\]\s\[\d{1,2}\/\d{1,2}\/\d{1,4}\s\d{1,2}:\d{1,2}:\d{1,2}:\d{1,3}\].+UserCreateAndEditTask\sprocessRequest\smethod\sstarted
   TIME_FORMAT =%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S:%3N
   MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = 25
   TIME_PREFIX = \[
   TRUNCATE = 0
   MAX_EVENTS = 20000

Hi joydeep741,
can you identify the LINE BREAKER REGEX? the one you showed isn't so clear and the only one.
can you share an example of your logs?
Bye.
