Hello,

There are other settings you may need to specify in your props.conf.

Make sure SHOULD_LINEMERGE is set to true.

     ## props.conf ##

     SHOULD_LINEMERGE = TRUE

Regards,

Splunk shows the events as follow:

Event) INFO

1) 101,102,103
2) 104,105,106
3) 107,108,109
4) , , RA, FA, DA
5) , , TE, TS, POL
6) 110,111,112

And I want to splunk take events 3,4 & 5 as one

1) 101,102,103
2) 104,105,106
3) 107,108,109
, , RA, FA, DA
, , TE, TS, POL

try this in your props.conf
Add a new stanza for your sourcetype, make sure to save your sourcetype while uploading the csv as a unique name
[your unique sourcetype]
BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE = ^\d+\s*$
make
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = FALSE, revert back the default settings for SHOULD_LINEMERGE
