Line Breaks

I need a working line-breaker for this sourcetype .I could muck about trying to get this working on my own, or I could ask here since it seems pretty simple. All of the events end with "Message()"

Here's the raw scrubbed raw event and a screencap of how Splunk is picking it up.

Use the following in props.conf for the sourcetype:
"SHOULD_LINEMERGE = true
BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE = Message()$"

I tried w/your event data, and it worked for me.

Yours worked in 99% of the events. What I finally ended up with was a really long regex.

BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE = \w{3}\s\d{1,2}\s\d{1,2}\:\d{1,2}\:\d{1,2}\s\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\s\[
