Scripted Input Multiline Event wanted

[hypePG]

Hey,

I got a script which is executing a vmstat command on a host. Since yesterday I received the output in a single multiline event:

memTotalMB   memFreeMB   memUsedMB  memFreePct  memUsedPct   pgPageOut  swapUsedPct   pgSwapOut   cSwitches  interrupts       forks   processes     threads  loadAvg1mi  waitThreads    interrupts_PS    pgPageIn_PS    pgPageOut_PS
     50284       11822       38461        23.5        76.5  8730068031         25.6    23270004  2386506467  3085994601    95621910         274     1779        1.38        0.00      
2586.57         72.36        520.60

Since a few days the data is coming in in two parts. Header and Data like this:

    1   2/19/18
10:48:44.000 AM 
     50284       14795       35489        29.4        70.6  9031516273         34.8    24020729  4048038777   392164802    98916588         276        1813        1.51        0.00       4607.00         54.55       1477.27

    2   2/19/18
10:48:44.000 AM 
memTotalMB   memFreeMB   memUsedMB  memFreePct  memUsedPct   pgPageOut  swapUsedPct   pgSwapOut   cSwitches  interrupts       forks   processes     threads  loadAvg1mi  waitThreads    interrupts_PS    pgPageIn_PS    pgPageOut_PS

I didn't change any configuration at all. In the second case I can't use the multikv command becuase the headers for the fields are missing.

How can I fix this?

Regards,

Hi

you probably need to configure EVENT BREAKER to avoid breaking your event in pieces before getting to indexers
