Hi,
Try this,
LINE_BREAKER = ([\r\n]+)\[[^\]]+\]\[\d{4}\-\d{2}\-\d{2}\s++\d{2}\:\d{2}\:\d{2}\,\d{3}\]\[tid\:
THat should break the events better for you

Hi perlish
There seems to be two problems. First the output of your logs has unwanted carriage returns in it. The second splunk is not recognising this as a multiline event. The latter can be fixed with the following stanza in props.conf. The time prefix looks complex but it is saying look for a line that starts with [ and the time should come after the second [
[business]
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = true
BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE_DATE = true
TIME_PREFIX = ^\[[^\[]+\[
TIME_FORMAT = %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S,%q3
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = 24
The line breaks will still be there and may cause fields to break in half. I suggest you look at how these logs are generated for the cause.

Ignore the 5. before time format. I don't know where that came from.

I tried this method but it seems did not work.
How can I set up the line breaker like a '\n'.

It's a line number added by the system in all code samples.

What are the current props.conf settings for this log? Have you tried BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE=[ems.ton]
?
