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

type=USER_ACCT msg=audit(Thu Sep 22 09:09:09 2023.333.12221): pid=12345 uid=0 auid=424242424 ses=6535872 subj=system_u:system_r:crond_t:s0-s0:c0.c1111 msg='op=PAM:accounting grantors=pam_access,pam_faillock,pam_unix,pam_localuser acct="root" exe="/usr/sbin/crond" hostname=? addr=? terminal=cron res=success'

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?
