Hi SMEs, there are logs coming from one of the application in one single event. How to split it in a seperate log event. Like there are 3 diff logs which are tagged to one event log

1. It's a linux auditd log so you might want to use an add-on for auditd. That will make everyone's lives easier 😉

2. How are you ingesting those logs? Locally by forwarder reading from /var/log/audit/auditd.log? Sent with syslog over the network? Whatever?
