Getting Data In

Linebreaks in log4j files with splunk forwarder

Hi,

I have a log4j file where the lines are nog parsed correct.

can anyone help me with creating a sourcetype for splunk

When there is a date in the xml the line is broken (red) because of:

props.conf in de splunkforwarder client.

[log4j]
BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE = \d\d?:\d\d:\d\d
pulldown_type = true
maxDist = 75
category = Application

What can i do to make this one line and only break when the line begins with a date
