SEDCMD with multiline mode doesnt work

noveix
Explorer

Trying to discard part of an event using SEDCMD doesnt seem to work. I was expecting everything between 'Subject' .. and 'Collapse' strings be discarded, however its still appears in the index. I have ingested the logs multiple time using the correct sourcetype (windows:sec_event) ... still no luck !!

Any pointers would be appreciated.

props.conf entry

[windows:sec_event]
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = 50
NO_BINARY_CHECK = 1
pulldown_type = 1
SEDCMD-filter = s/(?im)^Subject:.+Collapse$//g

Got this working .. had to use both REGEX modifiers .. 'm' and 's' flags as below

SEDCMD-filter = s/(?ims)^Subject:.+Collapse$//g

Should I be logging this as a bug, I have tested the REGEX several times and its verified OK ..
