Getting Data In

Line Breaking without removing field

In my props.conf, I have LINE_BREAKER=field1 this breaks the events how I want but it removes field1 from every event. Is there any way to keep field1 in my events but still break events after it occurs?

Thanks in advance

The LINE_BREAKER setting breaks events at the first capture group in the regex and discards that regex. To avoid discarding important data, use an empty capture group.

LINE_BREAKER = field1()

How do I break it into another event but still keep the regex in the event. I dont want to remove it. This is the sample raw data. I dont want to remove the top line. But I want to break just before the top line.
