I think you just need to add a LINE_BREAKER setting.

[sourcetype]
TRUNCATE=240000
SHOULD_LINEMERGE=false
TIME_PREFIX=^
TIME_FORMAT= %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S,%3N
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD=30
KV_MODE = auto
LINE_BREAKER = ([\r\n]+)\d\d\d\d-\d\d-\d\d \d\d:\d\d:\d\d,\d\d\d[\r\n]+\d\d\d\d

The goal is to break lines before the first timestamp and not also before the second timestamp.

Please share your current props.conf settings and show where the event(s) should break.

@richgalloway Thank you for your response. I have set my current props.conf as follow

[sourcetype]
TRUNCATE=240000
SHOULD_LINEMERGE=false
TIME_PREFIX=^
TIME_FORMAT= %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S,%3N
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD=30
KV_MODE = auto

And I would like to break my event breaking at the highlighted part.
